Kettering East

The site of the Kettering East Sustainable Urban Extension covers 328.5 hectares to the east of Kettering and Barton Seagrave and is bounded by existing development on its western boundary, the A14 trunk road to the south and open countryside to its north and east. It is owned by a collection of land owners but its development is being planned and promoted by Alledge Brook LLP.

Outline planning approval was granted on 15 December 2009 subject to a Section 106 agreement. The scheme will deliver up to 5,500 new homes, of which 20% will be affordable.

The application includes:

  • a secondary school
  • four primary schools
  • retail, employment, health, hotel, leisure and community facilities
