Will this affect you? 250 new homes planned on Northampton’s edge
A planning application has been lodged for 250 new homes in Northampton, marking the latest stage of a major sustainable urban extension on the edge of the town.
The application, submitted to West Northamptonshire Council, covers land to the east of Hardingstone and north of Newport Pagnell Road. It seeks reserved matters approval for the construction of 250 dwellings with associated infrastructure and open space, following an earlier outline permission granted in 2013 for up to 1,000 homes.
The wider scheme also allows for a local centre including shops, restaurants and community facilities, a two-form entry primary school, green infrastructure and highway access from Landimore Road and Newport Pagnell Road.

Blisworth Football Club, Courteenhall Road – proposal to erect a removable 90-metre ball stop and net system and create a car park for around 100 vehicles.
