A new gateway roundabout will help reduce congestion through existing residential areas by providing the necessary access to the new Urban Extension. The proposed residential development represents a logical and sustainable approach to the redevelopment of the site and will help South Northants District Council meet their housing land supply targets.

Proposals include:

• 140 quality new family homes, of a range of types and sizes, the majority a maximum of two stories.
• Substantial green infrastructure planting and a new play area
• New footpaths and cycleways connecting to the town centre and neighbouring employment sites
• New access roundabout and road layout
• Provision of land immediately to the south of the development for a new healthcare facility and 60 bed care home

Our involvement:

• Liaising with key stakeholders including Town Councillors and District Councillors from South Northamptonshire District Council.
• Highlighting the scheme’s benefits to the local community through a public exhibition.
• Building dedicated project websites, allocation of free-phone numbers and specific consultation email addresses.
• Drafting press releases and feedback forms, culminating in the drafting of a Statement of Community Involvement to accompany the planning application.
