To correct a factual error, Braybrooke Parish Council requested that a Minor Modification be made to the Braybrooke Neighbourhood Plan. North Northamptonshire Council confirmed that this can be treated as a Minor Modification as it does not materially affect the policies of the made plan. Braybrooke Parish Council agreed at their meeting on Tuesday 19 September 2023 to give consent to North Northamptonshire Council to make this change.
A further Minor Modification has also been agreed to the settlement boundary (Figure 3).
