"We are delighted to finally be able to offer the site to market and expect a huge interest.”

The site is split into four areas – the Station District, Mill Lane Quarter, Northern Neighbourhood and Employment Village.

Station District will be a diverse development with a mix of complementary uses concentrated around Wellingborough Station and its new facilities and parking, while the Mill Lane Quarter will be an mixed-use area drawing upon the cultural heritage of Mill Lane and distinctive character of the Round House Building.

The Northern Neighbourhood will be a community of starter, family, and later living homes, with opportunities for serviced offices and co-working hubs, local commercial services and leisure facilities to be integrated within the fabric of the development.
