A developer has acquired land to build 161 new homes.

Housebuilder Allison Homes East, will bring a mixture of one, two, three, four and five-bedroom homes to Priors Hall Park in Corby, Northamptonshire.

The site spans more than nine and a half acres, and construction is due to begin in March 2026.

Nigel Wakefield, development director at Urban&Civic, said the development was about creating a "sustainable community" which has become a "destination choice" for new housing in Corby.

Priors Hall Park has a number of established facilities, including a primary school, business academy, shops and play areas.

Once the work has been completed at the 965-acre site, there will be a total of 5,325 homes, two additional primary schools, sports pitches and further community infrastructure.

Sophie Kendal, land and partnerships director at Allison Homes East, said: "Securing land at Priors Hall Park is a signification milestone for us... we are thrilled to bring our expertise and passion to this vibrant and growing community.

"With construction set to begin next March, we're looking forward to working in close partnership with Urban&Civic to bring this development to life - and to the highest possible standard."
