East Stand and land development at Sixfields
· The football club applied for a Non Material Amendment (NMA) to the East Stand development which was refused by West Northamptonshire Council planners. The club has now re-submitted a revised NMA which is under consideration by the council. A new planning application will be needed for changes to the stand frontage and parking.
