Dear Residents, We wanted to update you following today’s planning committee meeting. The committee has refused the developer’s proposed S106 variation application. This is a significant decision for our community. The refusal recognises the concerns raised about further delays to key infrastructure, including the long-promised retail provision. Thank you to every resident who submitted comments, attended meetings, and supported this process. Your collective voice has been instrumental. SCRA will now explore the next steps, including understanding what this means for the current S106 obligations and the implications for the delivery of infrastructure. We will update you once we have clear guidance on the route forward. — SCRA

📰 📰 📰 Dear Residents, A recent article has been published about Stanton Cross. The Northamptonshire Telegraph has today covered the issue of changes to the S106 agreement that could delay the delivery of the promised shops at Stanton Cross. You can read the full article here: https://www.northantstelegraph.co.uk/news/people/change-to-s106-agreement-potentially-delaying-promised-shops-at-stanton-cross-recommended-for-approval-ahead-of-council-meeting-5435748

📮📢 Solicitor’s Letter Issued to NNC Dear Residents, We wanted to make you aware that a letter of objection has been issued by Goodenough Ring Solicitors to North Northamptonshire Council (NNC), instructed by the Stanton Cross Residents’ Association (SCRA). 👉 Important note: This action is not a collective civil action, nor is it pursuing individual claims. It is a formal representation made by the SCRA to ensure that the interests of the wider community are fairly considered. ⸻ 📝 What the letter is about The letter asks NNC to refuse a proposed change to the Section 106 Agreement that would delay delivery of a supermarket and retail units from the occupation of the 1,200th home to the 2,000th home. The letter argues that: • The developer is already in breach of the existing obligation because more than 1,200 homes have already been occupied. • The request to vary the agreement is procedurally flawed, lacking proper consultation, notice, evidence, and transparency. • The developer has provided insufficient evidence to justify the delay, and what is provided is weak and unsubstantiated. • Delaying the amenities would have negative impacts on residents, who were promised these facilities much earlier. ⸻ 🏛️ What the solicitors are asking the council to do The letter requests that NNC: 1. Reject the request to vary the agreement, 2. Enforce the existing obligations (potentially via injunction), or, if it chooses not to enforce, 3. Use its powers to carry out the works and recover costs from the developer. It also requests disclosure of all relevant communications between NNC and the developer under the Environmental Information Regulations. ⸻ 🔍 In essence The purpose of the letter is to: • Formally oppose the proposed delay, • Highlight the developer’s breach, • Press the council to enforce the existing agreement, and • Protect the interests of Stanton Cross residents. ⸻ A copy of the letter is shared below for you to review. We will keep you informed of any response or developments. This continues to be one of several avenues the SCRA are exploring regarding all issues pertaining to Stanton Cross. 📮 https://drive.google.com/file/d/1kn1qaXL5EGay5FlNY5QykiEz23O_56rd/view?usp=drivesdk Thank you for your continued support and engagement.

If you can, please bring a pint of milk, a loaf of bread, a bag for life, or another everyday item to help visually represent the community’s needs. This photo will likely be used in news publications, so it’s important that as many of us turn up as possible. NUMBERS MATTER, and visual representation really does make an impact. Let’s show everyone what an amazing community we are and stand together… literally!

Dear Residents, We will be taking a community photo on Saturday 6th at 12pm, outside the “Coming Soon” sign by the location of the future retail centre. We encourage all residents to attend where possible, as a strong turnout really matters. ⛅️ The forecast is showing rain earlier in the morning but clear by midday 🤞🏽, so we should be good to go! This photo is an important moment for us as a community. Visual representation will help strengthen our campaign to secure the infrastructure that was promised to residents when we chose to move here. This isn’t just about the retail centre, it’s about ensuring we get the secondary school, additional primary school, pub, roads and wider community facilities that were committed to and sold to us. It’s also a great opportunity to meet new neighbours and say hello to those you already know. Please bring families, neighbours, and anyone who cares about the future of Stanton Cross. The more people we have, the louder our message. See you Saturday! 💪🏽

We’re organising a group photo outside the intended retail area to show community strength and are inviting residents and key stakeholders. 👉 Please vote in the poll and SELECT ALL DATES you’re available – poll closes 10pm today. 📍 By taking part, you grant SCRA permission to use and share the content, including with third parties.

Dear Residents, It has come to our attention that a letter is circulating to individuals who submitted comments regarding the proposed S106 changes. Please see the letter below. At this time, the SCRA has not been formally notified of this correspondence, so if you have received it directly, we ask that you take a moment to read it carefully. We would also like to draw your attention to the Planning Committee agenda, which has now been published on the NNC website. On page 12, the planning officer’s recommendation is to approve the proposed changes. ➡️Link to agenda and papers: https://northnorthants.moderngov.co.uk/documents/g2458/Public%20reports%20pack%2010th-Dec-2025%2019.00%20Planning%20Committee.pdf?T=10 The SCRA has submitted a formal request to speak at the meeting to represent residents’ views and concerns. However, any resident may attend and request to speak, and we strongly encourage you to do so if you wish to have your voice heard. We will continue to keep you updated, but we encourage all residents to stay informed and engaged as this progresses. We are currently working on several actions in response to these developments and will share further updates in the coming days. Kind regards, Stanton Cross Residents’ Association

The SCRA has already delivered to over 700 homes across Stanton Cross. However, we still have around 700 homes left to deliver to this week, and we urgently need volunteers to help us complete the final areas. The leaflet directs residents to the SCRA website, where there is a time-sensitive opportunity to share views on the proposed s106 changes. It’s vital we reach as many households as possible so every voice has the chance to be heard. If you can spare a little time to deliver a few streets, please get in touch today. Your support will help ensure residents are informed and able to speak up. 💙 Thank you, Stanton Cross Residents Association (SCRA)

Stanton Cross is getting its festive glow-up tonight! ✨ Huge sleigh-bells shout-out to Stanton Cross Primary School for sprinkling Christmas magic everywhere … you’ve turned Stanton Cross into a walking winter wonderland! ❄️🧦 Residents, grab your hats, grab your hot chocolate, and go find today’s sparkle! Day 2 is brought to you by the SCRA 🤶🏽🎁

Dear Residents, Please see the 📰 Northants Telegraph article linked below regarding the proposed S106 agreement changes affecting retail units and key community amenities. The SCRA is actively challenging these proposals and advocating for the community. We will share updates in the coming week on steps being taken. We urge all to continue to submit comments through the planning portal, sharing with family, friends and neighbours, as these changes have far-reaching impacts on our wider community. Article: https://www.northantstelegraph.co.uk/news/people/misled-wellingborough-estate-residents-promised-shops-delays-fear-amid-s106-agreement-plan-5425184?utm_social_handle_id=297838736952475&utm_social_post_id=612087790&fbclid=IwQ0xDSwOdTF9leHRuA2FlbQIxMQBzcnRjBmFwcF9pZAo2NjI4NTY4Mzc5AAEeJa79QC_0PUYocZZWBMM_rh52AWh326_XG3ATFMnxzrwgydYeS5x7bMmr9dc_aem_Tc_ShW8xRMqbeeHXjO0Nfg

As part of our ongoing work on the s106 and wider infrastructure commitments, we are gathering information from residents about what was shared during the sales process. If you received any sales materials or were told anything by your developer or sales team about when the shops or other key infrastructure (schools, community centre, roads, etc.) would be delivered, please let us know. This could include: • Brochures • Leaflets • Emails • Screenshots • Notes from conversations • Anything mentioned during your reservation or purchase ⏰Please share anything you have as soon as possible before Sunday 23rd November. Your input will help us build a clearer picture of what expectations were set for buyers across Stanton Cross. Thank you for your continued support.

Dear Residents, Yesterday we shared an update about the proposed changes to the Section 106 (s106) agreement. This document isn’t just about the shop. The S106 agreement also covers schools, roads, parks, and sports facilities – things many of us rely on as much as a local shop and were promised when this development began. We know how frustrating this is. Your concerns are our concerns. We’ve raised them repeatedly with North Northamptonshire Council (NNC), Stanton Cross Developments LLP (SCD), and other partners, and we’ll keep doing so. ________________________________________ ‼️ Public Comments The proposed S106 changes are now open for public comment. Please take a few minutes to respond using the link below before the comments are closed. Every response matters and shows how strongly the community feels. https://publicaccess.wellingborough.gov.uk/online-applications/applicationDetails.do?activeTab=makeComment&keyVal=T488ZPRB0KP00 ________________________________________ ➡️ Our Current Focus • Working with MP Gen Kitchen and NNC Victoria Ward Councillors David and Kelly. • Continuing discussions with WTC Victoria Ward Councillor Marion Turner-Hawes, who was instrumental in the legal challenge to save historic trees. • Seeking professional advice and guidance from other specialists in this area on best next steps for us ________________________________________ 🪧 On Protests The Residents’ Association met tonight. After lengthy discussion, we voted not to lead or organise a protest. In the main part, for these three reasons: • We simply cannot see a route by which a protest can convince SCD to then convince a retailer to commission the construction of a shop. • Leading a protest will more likely close routes the SCRA do have available to us. • We do not have the resources to organise and ensure a safe and effective protest. That said, the SCRA supports residents’ right to organise a protest. Any member of the SCRA can join you in their personal capacity, but the vote was to not participate as an association. We would please ask that you share your plans, so any action taken can have the biggest possible impact. ________________________________________ 📋 Suggestions & Feedback Use our Suggestion and Feedback Form (pinned on this page) to share ideas or concerns. It’s the best way to make sure your feedback is seen and acted on, as we review these at the subsequent SCRA meeting. ________________________________________ 📣 Thank you to all residents who have taken the time to express frustration with the situation we are all trapped in, and for our ongoing efforts. We are currently in the process of arranging our first AGM in 2026. We hope to see you all there - more info to follow at a later date. Together, we can make sure Stanton Cross becomes the community we were promised. Warm regards Stanton Cross Residents’ Association (SCRA)

Dear Residents, We would like to provide an important update regarding the Retail Centre. The SCRA has held several meetings with both NNC and SCD, and this post includes links to further details from those meetings and the ongoing discussions. As many of you will be aware, the current s106 agreement between SCD and NNC stipulates that the 1,200th dwelling must not be occupied until the retail unit has been constructed (though not necessarily occupied). SCD are now seeking to amend this condition to 2,000 dwellings. Based on our review of historic construction rates, the SCRA estimates that the 2,000th dwelling is unlikely to be completed before 2028 or 2029. It is important to note that nothing prevents a retail unit from being built earlier should a suitable business choose to take on the premises. However, there is also no guarantee that this threshold could not be amended again in the future. Please take the time to read the accompanying letter for full details. In summary, the delivery of a shop remains dependent on commercial factors — a retail unit will only come forward once the relevant business interests align.
