Barton West development
Plans for 1,200 new homes at “Barton West”, on fields lying north of the bypass between Barton and Northway, have been approved. The plans were subject to another six-week public consultation from 10 February to 23 March 2012, and the Barton Area Action Plan was submitted to the Secretary of State on Friday 13 April 2012 and is now at the Examination stage.
