Additional Notes

Previously assessed through SHLAA as site 898. Little progress on the site so far. It remains a working scrapyard although the landowner did give an indication of a willingness to develop the site as part of the Plan for the Borough of Wellingborough (PBW) process. Site was therefore allocated as Policy Site 7 in the PBW to deliver in the region of 40 dwellings. The Leys Rd/Highfield Rd site was included in the Stalled Sites project undertaken across North Northamptonshire in 2020. This study concluded that the site was viable for a development in accordance with the PBW policy. The landowner continues to express a willingness to develop.

What is Brownfield Land?

Brownfield land is previously developed land that may be available for redevelopment. The government prioritises brownfield development over greenfield sites to protect countryside and make efficient use of existing infrastructure. Local authorities maintain Brownfield Land Registers to identify suitable sites for housing.
