A landmark regeneration project is set to transform Northampton's town centre with the submission of two planning applications. English Cities Fund (ECF) has put forward proposals for the former bus station site and the listed Corn Exchange building.
The comprehensive plans envision approximately 1,200 new homes, alongside diverse leisure and community facilities. The first phase, focusing on Upper Mounts and Newlands car parks, could commence immediately with 103 homes slated for completion by 2029.
Additionally, the Grade II listed 19th Century Corn Exchange, which has been vacant for over a decade, is slated for a vibrant revival. It is proposed to be redeveloped into a dynamic art and performance space.
