A row of modern red-brick terraced houses on a residential street, with small front gardens, paved footpaths, and a streetlight along the pavement. The road curves gently through a well-maintained housing development.

We are developing a Housing Strategy for 2027-2032, which will set out our vision and priorities for housing over the next five years and guide how we work with partners to meet local housing needs.

Overview

West Northamptonshire Council plays a key role in assessing housing need, planning for future homes, managing council housing, improving housing standards and working with partners and communities to deliver better housing outcomes.

Having a safe, suitable and affordable home is important for everyone. Good housing supports people's health, wellbeing, independence and opportunities, and helps create strong and thriving communities.

We would like to hear your views on the draft Housing Strategy. Your feedback will help us understand whether we have identified the right priorities and whether there are any additional opportunities or challenges we should consider before the strategy is finalised.
