Background
The Former Henley Centre, located on Saunders Close, Kettering, was historically used as a specialist facility providing day services, education, training and support for children and adults. The site operated for many decades as an important community resource serving the local area.
The original buildings were constructed in the early 1960’s, with reports indicating the centre was built in 1961. Initially operating as a residential and support facility, the site was subsequently re purposed in 1974 to accommodate social services functions, including office accommodation, a resource centre and associated parking.
More recently, the property was occupied by North Northamptonshire Council’s Adult Services department, providing a day centre for adults alongside administrative office accommodation. The site is now vacant and presents an attractive opportunity for redevelopment.
Consent has been obtained for the demolition of the existing buildings, enabling the creation of a cleared development site capable of supporting a range of future uses, subjects to planning.
