DTC supports residents over loss of parking on the Grange and Southbrook estates

This week, Daventry Town Council attended a planning meeting at Daventry District Council offices. Having listened to concerns raised by residents, the Town Council submitted objections to the proposed developments on garage sites on the Grange and Southbrook estates.

The proposals on Avon Close, The Stour, Waverney Close and two sites on Collingwood Way would see the demolition of existing garages for proposed residential development. The concerns raised by current residents were that development would displace vehicles and compound existing parking availability.

Applications for Avon Close, Waverney Close and one site on Collingwood Way were approved. The Stour and a second site on Collingwood Way were refused.

The appointed representative for Daventry Town Council expressed disappointment with the decision to approve three of these sites but added that Futures Housing had stated that they will be working to alleviate parking problems in these areas.
