Daventry,
Northamptonshire

Site

The Site measures approximately 20 hectares (ha) in size and lies immediately to the west of Ashby Road (A361) and adjacent to the residential development of Micklewell Park being delivered (and substantially completed) by Orbit Homes. To the north, the Site is bound by a strong linear tree belt and larger area of woodland; and to the south by strong hedgerows which flank a public right of way bridleway (in part) and permissive path (in part) between the A361 and the Grand Union Canal. Beyond that path to the south is the residential neighbourhood of Middlemore, also to the west of Ashby Road.

Proposals

The proposal for 250 dwellings shows a vision is for the Emerging Scheme to create a highly connected / integrated neighbourhood to Daventry, providing a desirable and attractive place for people to live and enjoy large areas of open space, whilst improving the ‘Grand Union and Oxford Canals Conservation Area’, preserving areas of more sensitive landscape and providing space for biodiversity.
