BLISWORTH NEW HOUSES MONITOR

Last Revision in Dec 2011 of listed Project Entries/Details.

On this web page an attempt will be made to list all the current 'new house' building projects in the parish and in some cases there will eventually be a link to photos and comment page - as has been done in the case of the new houses in the new street called Ladyfield which opens into the Courteenhall Road.

More detail is available on the internet.  South Northamptonshire Council publish a list of planning applications.  Villagers can find this by going to this search page, http://snc.planning-register.co.uk/planappsrch.aspx?pageprefix=plan and then selecting Blisworth parish and clicking on 'Submit' lower down on the form.  If you enter nothing else in the form you then get a complete list (over 40 pages), including outline permission applications, with the most recent applications on page 1.  If houses are demolished and replaced with the same number of new ones, or if house(s) are simply given extensive enlargement etc., the projects are not included here.

It would be appreciated if villagers would point out any errors or omissions.

Any applications that are withdrawn by the originator or refused by the SNC are removed from the list.  Any project re-submitted on appeal is restored to the list but removed again if that appeal is dismissed - this explains why the list is changed so frequently.  If a date is given in the table above it indicates approximately when the project was started.
Please refer to the SNC web pages for more information on an application, or an owner or builder.

NEWS ITEMS

 Nov 5, 08 Back in August the Parish Council were first approached to consider another SNC survey of the village to gauge how appropriate a second tranche of affordable housing would be.  On Nov 3 a representative of the Social Housing Dept., Ms. L. Welch, gave the council a short presentation in which it was stated that the number of individuals now on the social housing register, with a stated 'link' to Blisworth, had risen to a staggering 75 since the completion of Ladyfield but that the SNC were certainly not looking to build that many houses.  The parish council has been asked to provide suggestions in the first place for location and their immediate response has been that an extension to Ladyfield is the most obvious but there are serious doubts expressed on the disruption and the increase in traffic near the school (five new houses are already being established near there, see item 5 above, that will contribute to traffic pressure).   Parish land on the Towcester Road has been rejected by SNC as being too far from the village centre.  The council agreed to the survey, without a vote being taken, and the survey was carried out early in 2009.

2009 - Village enlargement Edict: (Items 2 & 3 above)  The future of these actions is discussed in a separate document, as is the question of allocation of village expansion and any developers' response to that allocation.  The reason for generating a separate document is to take the opportunity to remove the confusion that is inevitable for a report that is often updated.  The map below will be left in place to support future news items.
