Plans for 10 homes in King’s Cliffe approved

A developer has been given the go ahead to build 10 homes on a parcel of green land.

Affordable housing company EMH Homes has been granted planning permission for the development on council-owned land between Fineshade Close and Millwood Way in King’s Cliffe.

The plans include 10 semi-detached homes with parking and gardens, which would be accessed from the Millwood Way cul-de-sac.

Lance Wiggins, agent to the applicant, explained at a North Northamptonshire Council planning committee meeting last week that eight homes would be affordable rental and two would be shared ownership, which would be managed by a registered provider.

Giving the green light, councillors described the application for 100% affordable homes as ‘refreshing’.

Two previous applications for the site had been submitted in 1999 and 2016. The first was withdrawn and the second rejected because of a number of concerns including layout and drainage.
