High Hayden Garden Community is in East Northamptonshire and partly falls within both Rushden and Higham Ferrers Neighbourhood Plan areas.
The planning application was submitted in November 2020 to East Northamptonshire Council (ref.20/01453/OUT) by Taylor Wimpey UK Limited & BDW Trading Limited. The application is in outline with detailed access proposals which has been developed in line with the Masterplan for the Rushden East Sustainable Urban Extension (SUE).
The site forms the majority of the Rushden East SUE, allocated under policy 33 of the North Northamptonshire Joint Core Strategy and forwards into the East Northamptonshire Part 2 Local Plan under Policy EN33. East Northamptonshire Council has produced a Masterplan Framework Document for the Rushden East SUE which will be supplementary to the Local Plan.
The Higham Ferrers Neighbourhood Plan (HFNP) was made on 11 April 2016. The northern part of High Hayden Garden Community falls within the boundary of the HFNP, with the majority falling within the adjoining Rushden Neighbourhood Plan area which was made on 4 June 2018. Both neighbourhood plans acknowledge Rushden as a Growth Town and acknowledge the Sustainable Urban Extension to the east.
High Hayden Garden Community will provide a wide range of new facilities to serve the new community and assist in integrating the development with Rushden and Higham Ferrers. The facilities include new schools, local centres, employment land, allotments and sports facilities.
High Hayden Garden Community will provide significant areas of public open space, including a destination open space (SANG). There will be plentiful green spaces throughout the development, with opportunities for recreation and relaxation. Careful planting and management of these areas will also encourage local biodiversity, enabling wildlife to thrive.
The proposals for High Hayden Garden Community seek to create a community which is connected to Rushden, with extensions to John Clark Way and Newton Road and improvements to crossing facilities to encourage walking, cycling and other sustainable travel options.
High Hayden has six character areas, each with a clearly defined character relating to the site’s context and surroundings.
Barratt David Wilson and Taylor Wimpey are two of the UK’s leading housebuilders. They have worked together to deliver high quality, highly sustainable, mixed-use communities in many parts of the country, including at Brackley in South Northamptonshire. The two companies are working in consortium at High Hayden Garden Community to create one of the best new places to live in East Northants.
