Stornton & Sixfields

Stornton and Sixfields form a mixed-use area in West Northamptonshire centred on sport, retail and housing. Sixfields is anchored by Sixfields Stadium, home of Northampton Town Football Club, and the adjoining retail park with large out-of-town stores and food outlets. The area contains employment units and service yards that sit alongside residential streets, and local roads such as Sixfields Lane provide the main access through the district. On match days the stadium and surrounding car parks shape movement and local trade patterns, and the stadium’s floodlit outline is a familiar landmark after dark.

Stornton sits close to Sixfields and links to it by short local routes. Housing ranges from terraces to more recent developments, with small parade shops and community facilities serving daily needs. There are pockets of managed green space and pathways that carry pedestrians between homes, workplaces and the retail area. Planning in the area has focused on balancing leisure, shopping and employment while keeping short links between living areas and local services within the West Northamptonshire unitary authority.
