Planning committee

Decided by West Northamptonshire Non-Strategic Planning Committee on 18 Jun 2026.

Approved by 9 votes to 1

As officers recommended.

  • Officers advised approval because the flats would provide suitable accommodation without unacceptable effects on highways, neighbours or the area’s character.
  • Residents and a ward member objected over facilities, parking, waste, density, outdoor space, overlooking and possible future HMO use.
  • The committee voted nine to one, with one abstention, to approve with an added basement condition.
