Latest news (May 2006) The outline planning application for the proposed development of 90 homes on land to the rear of Cottingham Hall (formerly Bury House) has been refused by Corby Borough Council. The decision to refuse was taken for a range of reasons including: · that the application was contrary to planning policies that express a presumption against new housing development in the countryside outside the confines of villages such as Cottingham and Middleton · that the proposed development, including the proposal to build a shop ‘of unspecified size’, would have been in an unsustainable location on the edge of the villages · that local services are not adequate to meet needs that will arise from the proposed development, and the majority of journeys to and from places of employment, services and facilities, would need to be undertaken by car · that the impact of the development on the highway network was unacceptable with regard to safety and its suitability to accommodate the significant increase in traffic Contact Gordon Smith at Corby Council on 01536 464158 for more information.
