KET1 Key Buildings

The KNP identifies key buildings, which are either vacant or in need in refurbishment which are both significant and influential features in the Town Centre, due to their prominent size and/or location. 

The policy idea seeks to create principles for developing each of these locations. These have been identified by the local community, the Advisory Panel and the Town Council as follows:

1)Former Magistrates Court and Police Station. 
2)Former M & S
3) Former Gala Bingo
4) Kettering Manor House (Museum)
5) The Royal Hotel. 
6) Westbury House
7) Drovers Hall
8) Kettering Swimming Pool 

For example –  the Former Magistrates Court and Police Station may be suitable for a residential led mixed use development including community facilities such as a location for Town Council premises and given its location in close proximity to the bus interchange, public toilets. Due to its highly accessible location, the policy could take a view on lowering parking standards or consider how the redevelopment of the site could enhance links to the adjacent public realm as well as responding to its location within the conservation area.
