St. Modwen has teamed up with Bovis Homes to become the official partner for the ongoing development.

The project will see 3,650 houses built to the east of Wellingborough, as well as a number of industrial, retail and leisure units.

St. Modwen played a part in the town’s London Road development, bringing Lidl and Starbucks to Wellingborough.

Rupert Wood, regional director for the Northern Home Counties at St. Modwen, told the Northants Telegraph: “We’re pleased to be working with Bovis Homes on what is a hugely exciting scheme for Wellingborough and the wider area.

“It is a major project for our growing Northern Home Counties region and will provide a significant development pipeline in an area which is seeing economic growth.

“The delivery of the commercial development elements of Stanton Cross will play an integral part in the success of the scheme creating the commercial space to create jobs for the community.

“The excellent connections and the amount of commercial land to develop provides the opportunity to deliver a broad range of commercial space to meet demand from occupiers.

“We very much look forward to working with Bovis Homes and all the partners involved in Stanton Cross to deliver this transformational project.”

Stanton Cross is a £900 million residential-led scheme and will create more than 3,000 jobs.

Work on new infrastructure to serve Stanton Cross is already under way, including two new roads and two new bridges across the Midland Mainline and River Ise.
