Major plans unveiled to expand business park near Northampton
Plans for a major expansion of a business park near Northampton are among the latest planning applications submitted to West Northamptonshire Council (WNC).
The proposals would see Bugbrooke Fields Business Park, off Bugbrooke Road in Kislingbury, extended to create additional employment units.
The application seeks permission for new units for storage and distribution, research and development and industrial uses, alongside parking, bunds, landscaping and associated works.
The scheme, reference 2026/3335/MAF, has been classed as a major planning application.
Elsewhere, plans have been lodged to replace windows and doors at Gibraltar Court in Barrack Road, Northampton.
The application proposes replacing the building's existing single-glazed timber windows with UPVC double-glazed windows.
Existing single-glazed wooden and composite doors would also be replaced with double-glazed composite and steel doors.
The Gibraltar Court proposals have been submitted under application reference 2026/3030/FULL.
Planning and listed building consent are also being sought for a series of alterations at Grafton House, 11 Church End, Potterspury.
The proposals include replacing the property's front windows with new timber windows designed to match the existing appearance.
Plans also include a new workshop outbuilding and greenhouse, as well as a change to the material used for the front access path.
A poorly constructed stone wall at the driveway access would be removed and replaced with a single side gate designed to match the property's main gates.
Those proposals are being considered under references 2026/3122/HH and 2026/3075/LBC.
All three schemes have been included in WNC's latest public notice covering applications for planning permission and listed building consent.
The applications can be viewed through WNC's online planning portal, while residents and other interested parties can submit representations online or by post to the council's planning department at The Guildhall, St Giles Square, Northampton, NN1 1DE.
Representations must be made within 21 days of the publication of the notice, excluding bank or public holidays.
