A Neighbourhood Development Plan has been prepared by a steering group with support from the parish council.

The plan includes proposals for maintaining the village’s traditional Northamptonshire character, protecting its green spaces and biodiversity, improving facilities and infrastructure, easing congestion, supporting the development of small businesses, and building small-scale new housing to meet local needs.

Following the consultation and examination process, if the results are positive, parishioners will be asked in a referendum whether they support the proposed Neighbourhood Development Plan. The plan must receive support from more than half of those voting for it to be ‘made’ by DDC.

If made it will form part of the wider development plan for Daventry District up to 2029 and will be used to help decide planning applications in the Crick village neighbourhood area.
