West Northamptonshire Council has received a series of new planning and listed building applications, including a proposal to convert a Northampton home into two flats.
The application, submitted under reference 2026/1489/FULL, relates to 26 Lorne Road in Northampton. Plans seek permission to convert the existing dwelling into two flats through the construction of single-storey rear and side extensions, alongside a loft conversion with a rear dormer.
Elsewhere in the district, a listed building consent application has been submitted for 3 Tower Court, Overstone Park, Overstone. The proposal, reference 2026/1549/LBC, would see restoration work carried out to first-floor courtyard windows alongside the installation of IGU double glazing.
In Yardley Gobion, plans have been lodged for alterations to 11A High Street under application 2026/1629/FULL. The scheme includes the replacement of all doors and windows, demolition of an existing PVCu conservatory and construction of a new single-storey rear extension. Proposals also include rendering all brickwork and installing high-level cladding to the front elevation at first-floor level.
Meanwhile, at The Old Bakery, 39 High Street, Weston, application 2026/1667/FULL seeks permission to remove and replace an existing brick lean-to extension with a new single-storey lean-to extension.
