House builder commits to £4.8 million contribution ahead of new development in Northampton

As part of the planning agreement for its Atrium at Overstone development, located on the outskirts of Northampton, Taylor Wimpey South Midlands will be providing over £4.8 million support to West Northamptonshire Council.

All contributions form part of the Section 106 agreement, agreed between the homebuilder and council prior to receiving planning permission for the new development in Overstone.

Taylor Wimpey will contribute over £2,000,000 towards highways and more than £1,375,000 towards secondary education. A further £349,000 will support open space maintenance with £217,000 going towards healthcare.

Located on the north-eastern outskirts of Northampton, The Atrium at Overstone will offer a range of contemporary three and four-bedroom homes to suit both first-time buyers and growing families. Residents will benefit from a new primary school located at the development as well as children’s play areas, sports pitches, a local centre and plenty of open space on their doorstep.

Fiona Lloyd, Sales and Marketing Director at Taylor Wimpey South Midlands, said: “We are committed to building high-quality new homes and making sure that our developments are sustainable and positively contribute to local communities. Education, transport, infrastructure and community facilities are all among the areas that benefit from planning contributions, and we are pleased to be working with the community in Overstone to deliver these ahead of our new Atrium at Overstone development.”
