Kingsley Park Terrace might be set to see a future transformation as planning permission is sought from the council in order to bring new housing to Kingsley.
A planning application has been submitted to West Northamptonshire Council (WNC) to request permission to convert the vacant Sheltune car repair garage into 15 one-bedroom flats.
The proposal says the flats built would be made available to vulnerable adults, with the application reading: "The proposed new build apartments within this scheme are to be provided by Hockley Developments, a specialist developer of high-quality homes to enable vulnerable adults to live as independently as possible, enhancing their quality of life in a way that will empower them to grow and thrive. Hockley Developments work with care providers, housing associations and local authorities, to deliver high quality accommodation for those in identified need."
In addition, the application suggests that the construction of the flats would contribute towards WNC's housing aims, and would improve the character, housing mix and quality of the area.
"We feel that the proposed design scheme is a welcome addition to the area and is clearly a significant improvement from the miss matched garage appearance and provides a sustainable, varied housing development for assisted living needs by the council," said the applicant.
WNC are yet to make a decision on the application.
