Welcome

May 2024: In August 2023, an area to the northwest corner of the site was designated as part of the Titchmarsh Roman Town Scheduled Ancient Monument (SAM). This included the section of the site where the site access off the A605 was originally proposed, alongside an attenuation pond, pedestrian/cycle facilities and landscaping.


IM Properties has since amended the hybrid planning application and masterplan in response to the SAM designation, including the relocation of the proposed site access off the A605 to the southwest of the site. To find out more, go to Update May 2024.


IM Properties is holding a public information event to update the local community on the latest updates to its proposals which will outline the changes that have been made to the masterplan.

The event will take place on:

Wednesday 22 May 2024 – 3.00pm to 7.00pm

Thrapston Sports Club

38 Chancery Lane

Thrapston NN14 4JL

IM Properties is bringing forward plans for a well-designed and highly sustainable new business park north of the A14 at Thrapston.

Located close to Junction 13, the 120 acre site is in a prime location to meet the significant demand for new employment space in this part of Northamptonshire – helping to retain existing businesses, attract new employers to the area, and support a more resilient local economy.

It has the potential to accommodate up to 2,100 jobs across a range of sectors, including manufacturing, light industry and logistics, which plays an important role in all of our lives and helps other industries to function.

Consulting local people

At the end of 2021, we presented our vision to the local community and asked for feedback on the main themes driving our approach.

In February and March 2022, we presented our draft plans to the community, explained how the feedback we received helped inform our draft plans, and asked for further feedback to inform our planning application.

In March 2023, we held two public drop-in events to update the local community about a package of mitigation measures for the local highway network.

While we draw on our own comprehensive experience and the specialist insight of our professional team, we know we can achieve a better outcome by working with local communities.

Details of our consultations can be found in the Statement of Local Engagement submitted with our planning application.
