Planning
The site sits within the jurisdiction of Corby Borough Council and Northamptonshire County Council.
An outline planning application (20/00155/OUT) has been submitted to Corby Borough Council for a residential mixed-use scheme which includes the demolition of the existing food-store and erection of up to 110 residential dwellings. The residential element at maximum density would comprise 29 houses and 81 apartments with 170 sq m of A1/A3 commercial floor space on the ground floor of the building on the corner of Alexandra Road and Wood Street.
Two indicative masterplan options have been submitted with the planning application and a third proposal is being discussed. In addition, an Economic Viability Analysis has been submitted which shows that the proposed scheme cannot support a contribution towards affordable housing.
The planning application has been dealt with by Pegasus Planning Group. Any enquiries regarding the application can be redirected by JLL to the appointed representative of Pegasus. Please do NOT make any direct enquiries to the planning authority at this stage of the application process. It is anticipated that the application will be determined in October 2020.
