The Proposals

A community of villages

The new development will contain a series of distinct neighbourhoods, set within an extensive network of new parkland. Each local centre will provide a mix of shops and community facilities such as primary schools and community space and will be surrounded by homes arranged in traditional street patterns.

At the heart of the development will be a new district centre with a mix of shops, restaurants, community halls, schools, offices and health facilities.

The design will draw on the characteristics of the best architecture in Kettering, but also add a new and contemporary style to living in Kettering. The height of the development will be generally two storeys, but will rise to three and four storeys in the district centre. A Design Code will be agreed with the Council to ensure that these design principles and standards are upheld throughout the construction.
