Major housing, historic conversions and EV plans revealed in latest Northampton applications
Plans for a new electric vehicle charging zone, historic building restorations, and housing developments across Northampton have been submitted to West Northamptonshire Council this week.
Among the applications is one for the Far Cotton Service Station in London Road, where the current hand car wash and portacabins could be removed to make way for a new EV charging zone. The plans include the installation of multiple chargers, a substation enclosure, blast wall, jet wash bays, and other infrastructure to support electric vehicles.
Another significant Northampton scheme comes from the former Pearce Leather Works in Wellingborough Road, where developers have applied for permission to convert and extend the Grade II listed building into 32 flats, complete with bin storage and parking.
Elsewhere in the town, the Baptist Church Hall in High Street in Kingsthorpe could see its 1930s windows and doors replaced with uPVC under a new application, while at 139 St James Road, plans have been lodged to change a former veterinary clinic into a betting shop.
A proposal for Dallington Hall on Dallington Park Road seeks approval to replace two first-floor windows and carry out internal works, with matching applications submitted for both planning permission and listed building consent.
Beyond Northampton, nearby villages and parishes are also featured in the latest list of applications.
Moulton could see up to 120 new homes built north of Boughton Road, alongside a separate proposal for a loft conversion and dormer windows at the Stonewell Cottage Day Nursery on Church Hill.
In Brixworth, a former landfill site on Mercedes Avenue is earmarked for a large solar array and battery storage system in a major renewable energy proposal.
Pattishall, Kislingbury, Harpole, Blisworth, and Towcester are among other areas with smaller-scale extensions, alterations, and heritage works under consideration.
All applications can be viewed on the West Northamptonshire Council website, and residents have 21 days from November 6, 2025, to submit comments or objections online or by post to the council’s planning department at The Guildhall, St Giles Square, Northampton, NN1 1DE.
