The approved designs for the neighbourhood centre include 37 new apartments. The apartments are designed to be dual-aspect one- and two-bedroom units, offering abundant natural light, ventilation, and spacious living environments. These high-quality homes aim to provide a comfortable and sustainable lifestyle for residents while contributing to the wider community’s appeal. Additional amenities in the development include 8 retail spaces, office facilities, a convenience store, a nursery and a gym. Residents will therefore enjoy access within the local centre with aims to foster a strong sense of community.

Developed in collaboration with Vistry Group, the Stanton Cross local centre will be an integral part of the community, sat at the heart of the project. It reflects a commitment to integrating contemporary design with the area’s unique heritage. The architecture draws inspiration from the nearby railway infrastructure, including the iconic, locally listed Roundhouse building, grounding the modern development within its historical and geographical context.

Stanton Cross is a landmark mixed-use development in Wellingborough, Northamptonshire. This transformative initiative is set to regenerate the area by developing approximately 339 hectares of green and brownfield land. Once completed it will feature 3,650 homes along with retail, leisure and commercial spaces. The project will also involve extensive infrastructure upgrades, taking advantage of its close relationship to the railway station and links to the town centre to improve access to local and regional transportation. The initiative represents a significant investment in Northamptonshire’s infrastructure and economy and aligns with plans to create sustainable urban extensions and mitigate flood risks.
