The Planning Committee of North Northamptonshire Council met on Wednesday 17 June 2026. The committee approved four planning applications and deferred one.
The Old Watermill, Mill Lane, Brigstock
Planning permission was approved for application 25/01869/HFUL at The Old Watermill, Mill Lane, Brigstock, NN14 3HG, subject to conditions contained within the report. The application was retrospective, concerning structures that had already been built. Concerns were raised by Brigstock Parish Council and local residents regarding the retrospective nature of the application, the use of unsuitable materials, and potential flooding issues. Place Services Essex County Council stated that the structures did not harm the significance of the Grade II listed building or the Brigstock Conservation Area.
70 Hardwick Road, Wellingborough
Planning permission was approved for application 26/00697/FUL at 70 Hardwick Road, Wellingborough, NN8 5AG, subject to conditions contained within the report. The application was for the change of use of two dwellings to a single children's home unit. Six objections were received from local residents concerned about increased noise, traffic, and a potential loss of privacy. The committee noted that the property already had sufficient parking and that the proposed use would largely mirror the existing residential nature of the area.
The Smallholding, A43 Stamford Road, Duddington
Delegated power was given to the Executive Director of Place and Economy to approve application 25/01735/FUL for The Smallholding, A43 Stamford Road, Duddington, subject to conditions. These conditions included the addition of a condition to limit the hours of use and the maximum number of dogs allowed on the site to ensure the intensity of the use accords with the recommendations of the submitted environmental noise assessment, and the conditions contained within section 11 of the published report. Duddington Parish Council had objected, citing concerns about access, security, waste disposal, visual intrusion, and noise. The Local Highway Authority confirmed that visibility splays were adequate and that two vehicles could pass at the access point.
Weldon Landfill Site, Kettering Road, Weldon
Application NN/25/00002/WASVOC to vary conditions at the Weldon Landfill Site, Kettering Road, Weldon, NN17 3JG, was deferred for more information to be provided. The applicant, WRG (Midlands) Ltd, sought to extend the duration of waste operations and update the restoration and aftercare scheme. Weldon Parish Council had objected, raising concerns about an increase in the proposed final fill height, the length of the extension requested, and the clarity of the proposal.
