Planning The Rushden and Wallington Parish Council is in the process of creating a Neighbourhood Development Plan for Wallington, which will count as part of the Local Development Plan when planning applications are considered.

The Draft Plan includes:

Policy W4(B)(ix) and (x)

As appropriate to their scale, nature and location development proposals should address the following criteria:
(ix) ensure safe pedestrian, and where feasible cycle/equestrian, access to link up with the existing Public Rights of Way network; and
(x) ensure that traffic generation and parking does not adversely affect vehicular and pedestrian safety. The use of sustainable transport modes should be promoted by providing space for cycle parking, improving Public Rights of Way infrastructure and provision of electric vehicle charging points. Residential parking provision should be in accordance with the NHDC Parking standards, with priority given to adequate off-road parking for residents, visitors and service vehicles;
As the consultation is still open, we are asking for the following additions:
Add to W4(B): (xii) assistance with any relevant aspects of the Rights of Way Improvement Plan for the area.

Add para: 7.16 It is recognised that the designation of sites as Local Green Space provides some protection against inappropriate development. Where specific green space is included as part of a development, designation as a Village Green would also provide rights of access to residents and so development proposals offering green space will be encouraged to voluntarily register such space as a village green (Commons Act 2006).

Add to Policy W9 at end: Registration of green space in developments as Village Green under the Commons Act 2006 will be encouraged.

Projects Rights of Way Improvement Plan suggestions:
Rushden and Wallington 25 footpath upgrade and Rushden and Wallington 26 footpath upgrade, to form part of the Stevenage to Cambridge bridleroute (upgrade needed)
Rushden and Wallington 32 link to public road, to ensure connected route exists (recording needed).
