LAND OFF BARBY ROAD, Braunston, Northamptonshire

Welcome to Manor Oak Homes’ public consultation website for our proposed new development at land off Barby Road, Braunston in Northamptonshire.

Our Vision: Manor Oak Homes are pleased to announce we will shortly be submitting a planning application for a development of up to 29 quality new homes including market and affordable housing and public open space on land west of Barby Road in response to the recent housing needs survey.

The Proposed Development

The proposed development will seek to deliver an attractively designed new residential scheme of circa 29 new homes comprising a range of house types, sizes and tenures. The Concept Masterplan has been sensitively designed to respect the surrounding settings and provide a landscape led approach to the development including a mix of new homes that has been designed to meet local needs identified in the Braunston Parish Housing Needs Survey Report (HNS), comprising:

• 19 dwellings for market sale in a mix that includes 12 bungalows and 7 houses.
• 30% affordable housing in a mix designed to meet the identified need in the HNS.
• One custom/self-build bungalow plot to meet the identified need in the HNS.
• 50% of dwellings would meet M4(2) accessibility standards.
• All dwellings will be designed to meet the governments Future Homes Standards for net zero carbon ready homes.
• A sustainable drainage system (SuDS) that would utilise natural drainage features in the form of swales and basins along the northern site boundary.
• Vehicular and pedestrian access from Barby Lane on the eastern site boundary with a footway extension / improvements connecting to existing provision and the potential for a direct footway connection to the recreation ground.
• Public Open Space including new trees and shrubs.

Stakeholder engagement is a key part of the development process and we are interested to hear residents’ views, ideas and concerns.

We are holding a public consultation event from 4:30pm to 8pm on 10th January 2023 in Braunston Memorial Village Hall.

Next Steps

This consultation exercise precedes the submission of an outline planning application to West Northamptonshire District Council which will seek permission for the principle of up to 29 dwellings along with access. All other details will be subject to reserved matters applications in future.

Residents in close proximity to the site should receive a formal invitation to respond to the application from West Northamptonshire District Council upon the submission of the application. Any response you make will be made available to Manor Oak Homes accompanied by Officer advice explaining how we should address any issues raised.
