Emergency services were called to the development off Irthlingborough Road at about 1.20pm after an industrial accident, although no further details about what happened were available at this stage.

A police spokesman said the victim was a Northampton man who was in his 40s.

The HSE and Stanton Cross have been contacted for comment.

It is the second death on the site after a worker died there in 2017.
