WELLINGBOROUGH

Wellingborough has all the key fundamentals and is well placed to accommodate growth. It is well served by road and rail, and a varied retail centre, local health services, further education provision, and a full range of leisure and recreation facilities. It is also an increasingly popular commuter destination, with a regular rail service into St Pancras in as little as 45 minutes.

Wellingborough’s status as a commuter destination has increasing relevance with the comprehensive redevelopment of the St Pancras / Kings Cross area and its transformation into a hub of employment, education, cultural and leisure activity. Situated just over ten minutes from Wellingborough station, the Glenvale Park scheme is well placed to take advantage of the London commuter spill, particularly in the context of affordability constraints within the capital itself.

Wellingborough is a market town, with a population of around 80,000 (2018). This is expected to increase by 4.8% by 2027, a rate broadly in-line with regional expectations, and which will equate to an additional 3,813 living in the borough over the same period. Household growth is expected to outstrip population growth, at 7.5% over the next ten years, which will put further pressure on local housing stock.

Wellingborough is home to nearly 3,000 businesses, including the Head Offices of Booker and Whitworths, as well as household names such as Monsoon, Open University and Budgens. Investors in the town include Axa Sunlife, Unilever, Standard life, British Airways Pension Fund, Aviva and many more. Development of the towns employment base continues with a number of significant sites now coming forward for commercial development bringing with them new opportunities for employment and giving the town a strong and balanced mixed-use foundation when combined with the release of land for residential development.
