The infill plots that interests us around Wellingborough
We look for infill plots across Wellingborough and the surrounding villages, particularly where there is room for parking off the road. In Northamptonshire, Wellingborough sits about 9 miles north-east of Northampton; Rushden and Kettering are its nearest neighbours on our list.
- Side gardens with their own road frontage
- Corner plots within built-up areas
- Plots large enough for one or more homes with parking
- Land with or without an earlier planning history
Northamptonshire is centred on Northampton, with Kettering, Corby, Wellingborough, Rushden, Daventry and Brackley and many villages in between. There is no Green Belt and no National Park or National Landscape in the county, so constraints are mostly local: flood risk in the Nene valley, landscape and heritage. Typical sites include edge-of-town fields, urban extensions, farm buildings and village infill, plus former industrial land in the towns.
What decides whether a site in Wellingborough works
Neighbours' amenity
Overlooking, loss of light and outlook are the issues planners weigh most often.
Parking and access
A safe access and enough parking can decide small schemes.
Services
Connections for drainage, water and power need to be reachable.
In England, a planning permission normally has to be implemented within three years unless the council sets a different period, and councils aim to decide minor applications within eight weeks and major ones within thirteen.
