More than 100 homes could be built on farmland as extension to village near Northampton
More than 100 homes could be built on farmland as extension to village near Northampton.
Up to 110 new homes could be built on farmland in Brixworth under plans being drawn up by national developer Taylor Wimpey.
The housebuilder wants to develop a 4.1-hectare site off Northampton Road with between 90 and 110 houses, ranging from two to two-and-a-half storeys.
The developer said: “It will be designed as a typical suburban development but with a scheme that allows for a clear sense of identity.”
The plans include a new vehicle access onto Harborough Road.
The site is currently farmland used to grow crops.
The proposals also include new planting and open space, while existing trees and hedgerows would be retained where possible.
Taylor Wimpey has asked West Northamptonshire Council to rule on whether the scheme needs a full environmental impact assessment before a planning application is submitted.
Taylor Wimpey has yet to submit a full planning application.
