Don't worry about the boroughs and the districts too much, the big issue is West Northamptonshire Development Corporation- they act as the planning authority for the big expansion of housing and the urban regeneration of Northampton. They are set up to receive listed building and conservation advice from the local planning authorities (who still have control over Listed Building Consent applications, even if the matching development application goes to WNDC) but they, like the districts, worked on the principle that the county could handle the archaeology.
NCC also have no building conservation officers, and are having to rely on the districts and boroughs for input on their own listed buildings at present.
It's an interesting county to work in at present.
Conservation says no
