Grange Park, Northamptonshire history

---

The village was created from agricultural land belonging to Courteenhall Grange Farm in the late 1990s. Approval for the initial development of the village was granted on 8 May 1998, initially for one thousand houses to be built.

2003 planned development of an IKEA store

In 2003, a sand pit which was a former domestic refuse site was the proposed location for a new IKEA store. After local opposition from members of the public, the store was built in Milton Keynes instead.

2008 development of 450 new homes

In 2008, West Northamptonshire Development Corporation agreed on a new development of 450 new homes and a hotel in the same sand pit location where an IKEA store was planned in 2003. The government decided that the new homes would be built closer to existing homes in the village rather than on the wasteland.

2017 warehouses development

In 2017, three new warehouses were built in the sandpit location that was formerly the planned site for an IKEA and 450 new homes. Two of the warehouses are home to Clipper Logistics and the other one is home to an Amazon distribution centre.

2019 planned development of 330 new homes

Manor Oak Homes published plans for 330 new homes in January 2019. Many believe that there are not enough local services to cope with the new homes. Primary school, doctor’s surgery, dental practice and pre-school are already at almost full capacity.
