Housing plans favoured
EAST Northamptonshire policymakers are expected to approve two new housing developments in Rushden.
A three-storey complex of 30 single-bedroomed flats is to be built on land in Cromwell Road.
The site is now used as a garage workshop and car sales area, but it is planned to build two three-storey blocks and a detached house.
A report to go before Wednesday's East Northamptonshire District Council planning committee says outlined planning permission for the scheme should be permitted, providing the developers follow building conditions set by the council.
A second, smaller project, to build 12 two-bed-roomed flats on land at Dayton Street, Rushden, looks set to get the green light from the planners.
An application for the three-storey building was turned down because councillors thought it would be too high, but after going back to the drawing board the developers have come up with a design likely to be approved.
