Q. How does your proposal to develop 35-70 houses fit with the Core Spatial Strategy?

A. It doesn't. The Core Spatial Strategy and East Northamptonshire Council define Chelston Rise and Caldecott as "open countryside" with no obligation to accept new housing. We believe that the area will be enhanced by our proposals but we do recognise that we need to "sell" it to you with clear benefits. We believe that our proposal will achieve this by (a) improving the road between Chelston Rise and Caldecott (b) providing a number of affordable houses for local people (c) looking to provide a play area for Chelveston.

Q. So there isn't actually a requirement for us to accept your proposals?

A. No but we believe that our proposal provides clear benefits to the community.

Q. So what exactly are the benefits for the existing residents?

A. Improved connections to Caldecott and improved sewers are two clear benefits.
