Local newspapers are reporting that Bosworths Garden Centre in Burton Latimer have submitted planing applications to move to a new site on the A6 at Irthlingborough.

Sam Bosworth told GTN Xtra this morning that the application was actually submitted in December last year and they are now going through the process towards, hopefully, approval later this year.  "Ever since I left college it has always been in our minds that the restrictive Burton Latimer site would become housing eventually and at last we have found a site, still within our catchment triangle of Kettering, Wellingborough and Rushden."

Sam explained it will be a while before the garden centre, which will be twice the size of Burton Latimer, takes shape as despite all the good news around garden centres at the moment getting the finance in place is very complicated for garden centres.

"We've been looking seriously for 5 to 6 years and saw this plot in Irthlingborough in September 2019.  I thought getting planning on a new site would be easire than the planning to change the existing site for residential but it has turned out to be the other way around.

The new site is just 4 miles away from Burton Latimer at Litchfield Farm, A6, Irthlingborough Bypass
