The
Planning of the A1-M1 link now the A14 was a sign to ORS of potential
development in the Kettering area.
Two sites were taken under a Promotion Option - approximately
30 acres on the outskirts of Kettering, the other some 15 acres on the
edge of Burton Latimer, which adjoins the A6 and A14.
The Kettering site was granted consent at Appeal. Detailed
consent was granted for 200 homes, the site having been sold by the landowner's
agent to Barratt Homes.
A further area of land for c. 110 houses was controlled
via access through the Barratt site. ORS retained the necessary rights
and after several years obtained the additional consent, on land owned
by Corus (ex British Steel). The site has been acquired by Persimmon Homes.
The Burton Latimer site was negotiated through the planning
system with consent granted in November 1994 and sold through Henry H.
Bletsoe, Chartered Surveyors, to Wilcon Homes.
