“In the absence of any material considerations of sufficient weight, it is recommended that the proposal be refused.”
The development would comprise of a number of affordable two-bed and three-bed houses, priced at between £110,000 and £135,000.
Mr Martin says the development would be a great opportunity for first-time buyers.
He said: “Not only will this provide a fantastic opportunity for first-time buyers who are finding it harder than ever to get on to the property ladder, but it will also offer a further boost to the local economy in Wellingborough by supporting local tradesmen suppliers, something which I’ve always been very passionate about since I started out in business.”
A final decision will be made tomorrow at the Wellingborough Council chamber. The meeting starts at 7pm.
