Future Developments
Oakley Vale is a burgeoning community, with amenities and infrastructures already in place for those looking for a new home in Corby. Whether it’s a local pub, shops, nursery or vet practice, Oakley Vale has it all. But it doesn’t stop there – the whole region is expecting continuing growth and the addition of exciting new amenities, local services, and areas of natural beauty.

Phase 8 is situated at the end of Bennett Road and Chepstow Road (take a look at our Masterplan page for a visual view of what this phase might look like).
We’re pleased to share that Great Oakley and North Northamptonshire Council have agreed the sale of 270 homes on Oakley Vale Phase 8 to a partner developer. Negotiations are ongoing with the chosen party and the aim is to be in contract in Q4 2025.
The sale will enable the provision of 230 homes for private sale and private rent, and 40 new affordable homes.
The development will include significant areas of public open space, sustainable drainage solutions and a new NEAP (Neighbourhood Equipped Area of Play). The development will not affect the public footpath route (UB30) which was diverted in 2023.
Our chosen partner will provide roads and services to enable the local centre and a potential new primary school (depending on North Northamptonshire Council‘s needs).
Great Oakley is also seeking developer interest in the proposed new local centre having undertaken research into likely local demand for such a facility and we believe that we can build on the success of the existing local centre on Butland Road. We hope to have further news on this exciting part of the project in 2026.
Phase 8 will have its own high quality Design Code prepared by Thrive Architects, and this neighbourhood design code has formally been submitted to North Northamptonshire Council for approval, along with a phasing strategy document which demonstrates the relationship between Phase 8, Phase 9 and the Local Centre and the existing Oakley Vale Community.
We expect that a planning application for phase 8 to be submitted to the planning authority in Q4 2025 which should enable a start on site in mid 2026.
