David Hnyda, sales and marketing director at Crest Nicholson, said:“Placemaking and strengthening communities are important factors for us when we begin planning on all our developments, and we are pleased to announce the comprehensive community benefits package for Daventry.

“We plan to build a modern, fit-for-purpose community to service the future residents of Monksmoor Park and the wider Daventry community and the plans unveiled demonstrate how we will ensure these key services and amenities are factored into a feasible timeline for delivery.

“We are looking forward to working with the local Daventry community to deliver this plan over the coming years.”
