Update on plans for 525 new homes near Northampton included in latest batch of planning applications

Among the major schemes is an application concerning land north of Newport Pagnell Road, Hackleton (2025/4585/S73). Developers are seeking to vary a condition tied to the long-approved outline plan for up to 525 homes. The amendment would change the wording of the access and roundabout condition, requiring detailed engineering designs to be agreed before work begins on site, and ensuring bus stops and a puffin crossing are in place before any homes are occupied.

A number of listed building consents have also been submitted. At Cromwell Cottage, High Street, Naseby (2025/4634/LBC), retrospective approval is sought for a series of works dating back to 2015, including a greenhouse, the installation of Gigaclear Wi-Fi, updates to an open fire, new internal features and a replacement side gate, as well as an EV charger fitted to the annex in 2024.

In Boughton Park, the owners of Hawking Tower (2025/4700/LBC) have applied to remove and rebuild around 2 sq m of stone above the doorway using original materials. The upper section of the limestone head, which has split, would be replaced, along with a deteriorated ironstone plinth.

Changes include building both properties in brick rather than render, installing photovoltaic panels, altering windows and doors, enlarging Plot 1 slightly, adding a porch, and adjusting chimney positions.

A variation of conditions is also sought for The Old Mill House, 20A High Street, Ravensthorpe (2025/4902/S73) to update approved plans with additional information on paint and quarry tile finishes linked to repair works carried out after a water leak.
