KET6 Brownfield Development
Following on from the identification of key buildings in KET1, the Neighbourhood Plan could consider wider brownfield re-generation opportunities across both the Town Centre and wider Neighbourhood Plan area should it wish, to bring forward additional residential led development or mixed-use schemes.
The policy idea would seek to create principles for identified locations where there would be a wider benefit to the Neighbourhood Plan area of encouraging such sites to be redeveloped such as promoting additional residential spaces within or close to the town centre to increase footfall, and/or regenerate a particular location bringing additional investment and community benefits.
As with KET1, the KNP should be used as a vehicle to initiate a dialogue with landowners/agents of these sites to establish how they may come forward for redevelopment for appropriate residential or mixed-use schemes given their respective locations.
A list of potential locations has been drawn up following identification by the Advisory Panel and the Kettering Civic Society on their walkabouts. These will now undergo initial assessment before the landowners and the community are asked for their views on their potential inclusion in the KNP.
