On behalf of Bloor Homes South Midlands, White Peak Planning successfully project managed two applications relating to the Northampton West Sustainable Urban Extension, contained under Policy N4 of the West Northamptonshire Joint Core Strategy, through to successful determination.

The applications related to to 83Ha of land comprising the majority of the Northampton West allocation. They consist of the erection of up to 1,750 dwellings, a Primary School and Mixed-Use Local Centre (uses A1-A5, D1) together with associated ancillary infrastructure works.

White Peak have been responsible for providing planning advice, acting as planning agent, coordinating the Environmental Impact Assessment and managing the planning phase on behalf of Bloor Homes. We worked alongside Daventry District Council (DDC), South Northamptonshire Council (SNC), Northamptonshire County Council (NCC) and various other key stakeholders to facilitate a comprehensive and coordinated approach to the Northampton West allocation, enabling the delivery of a first phase of infrastructure-led development, whilst not prejudicing development of the remaining allocated land.

The two applications were submitted to DDC and SNC by White Peak in late 2017 and following extensive discussions on the S106, closely related to highways, planning permissions were granted in December 2020.
