    Cabinet Member Report for Regeneration, Enterprise and Planning Northampton Borough Council 2nd March 2015 Regeneration The economic and physical regeneration of Northampton was one of this Administration’s key priorities on taking control of the Borough Council in 2011. All of the projects below have benefitted the residents of Northampton by generating inward investment, improving skills, modernising transportation links, creating more incentives for people to visit and generally supporting business in our town to create jobs and a thriving local economy. Project Angel Plans were approved in May 2014 to transform derelict land in the heart of Northampton into a new iconic headquarters and office building for Northamptonshire County Council, saving tax payers millions of pounds and generating a massive cash injection to the town centre economy. The building is due to open in autumn 2016 and bring 2,000 workers back into the town centre and the sod cutting ceremony took place on 10th February. University of Northampton In 2012, the University of Northampton announced plans to build a new single-site campus in the Enterprise Zone to capitalise on the links with research and innovation in technology. Plans were approved in July 2014 and the new campus is due to open in 2018. Work commenced in December 2013 on a new Innovation Centre opposite the Railway Station which will provide premises for up to 60 small and start-up businesses and enhance the Enterprise Zone offer for the town. The Innovation Centre will open this spring. In March 2014 the new Halls of Residence opened at St John’s bringing 464 students to live in the town centre and making Northampton a true University town Sixfields The Administration worked with Northampton Town Football Club to facilitate the redevelopment of Sixfields Stadium and the surrounding area with a £12 million loan deal which was announced in July 2013.

  • Northampton Local Plan
    CASTELLO FORTIOR CONCORDIA NORTHAMPTON BOROUGH COUNCIL NORTHAMPTON LOCAL PLAN 1993-2006 ADOPTED JUNE 1997 WRITTEN STATEMENT Indicating Saved Policies as amended by the Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government September 2007 David Moir Director of Environment Services June 1997 FOREWORD Northampton is rapidly developing town - fortunate in having within its boundary a blend of old and new. It combines a historic town centre, former village communities, modern housing areas and a diverse range of employers with parks and open spaces which extend right into the heart of the town. It is an environment of which we are proud. Almost thirty years ago Northampton was designated a new town and under the auspices of the Development Corporation, Northampton expanded significantly through the implementation of the Northampton Master Plan. The momentum of growth remains, but it is important to ensure that future development adds to the quality of the environment in Northampton. The adopted Local Plan forms the basis for all decisions relating to land use within the Borough. It reflects many comments and representations made during its preparation as well as taking on board the recommendations of a Planning Inspector appointed by the Department of Environment following a Public Inquiry into remaining objections. The Plan aims to guide the further expansion of Northampton. It seeks to conserve important open spaces, encourage a balanced mix of residential, business and leisure development and promote good sustainable transport initiatives. In essence it seeks to produce an environment which enhances Northampton for the benefit of all. In conclusion, I wish to pay tribute to the late Councillor Roger Alder who steered the Plan through the majority of its stages as chair of the Planning Committee.
