Planning committee
Decided by West Northamptonshire Non-Strategic Planning Committee on 20 Aug 2026.
Refused by 9 votes to 0
Against officer advice: officers had recommended approval.
- Officers advised approval because the extensions, HMO use, parking and neighbour impacts were considered acceptable subject to conditions.
- Residents and ward members objected over overdevelopment, parking pressure, intensification, loss of parking and harm to neighbours.
- The committee voted nine to zero, with one abstention, to refuse the application against the officers’ recommendation.
