Daventry, early 00s
• Population growth ongoing• Constrained town centre• Mixed economic base (low wage)• Limited infrastructure• Poor sustainability
• …MKSM Study, then Strategy…
![Page 8: Water & Development Daventry WaterSpace East Midlands Councils Planning CPD 28 June 2012.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062518/5697bf711a28abf838c7dddc/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Approach
• Ride the tiger:• Renew the town centre • Secure infrastructure• Enhance job opportunities• Transform education• Or end up with growth anyway
“Building social and economic success on the basis of environmental excellence”

Why water?
• People like water• UK’s busiest canal only 3km
away: An opportunity too good to miss
• Property values enhanced• A new ‘heart’ for Daventry:
Quality public space and buildings around water
• Public support

Stage 1 report
• Canal and waterside viable• Added benefit of active water (canal connection)• No “show stoppers”• Water supply within catchment sufficient.• Potential ecological benefits.• Potential benefits to town centre and wider development• Recommends 100 berth marina and additional ‘casual’
moorings• Cost about £10 million plus optimism bias (44%)• Five route options
![Page 14: Water & Development Daventry WaterSpace East Midlands Councils Planning CPD 28 June 2012.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062518/5697bf711a28abf838c7dddc/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Stage 2 report
• Option selected• Design worked out in detail:
– Bed level 125.0m– Water level 126.5m
• Runs under Northern Way• Welton Road diverted• Extensive risk management and “buildability” work done.• Costs: £10.2 million + £1.7 million for risks + optimism bias
at 11% (down from 44%).• NPV of costs £4.3 million

How?
