Barratt David Wilson Homes have submitted plans for a 170-home development in the Leicestershire countryside. The proposed estate would be located off Leicester Road, near Fleckney, covering 8.81 hectares of land—roughly the size of 13 football pitches.
The planning application includes 102 market homes and 68 affordable homes. Its focus is on promoting pedestrian and cycle use as part of a sustainable community. The developer aims to integrate green and accessible spaces within the new development.
Additionally, the application proposes a 600-metre extension of the 40mph speed limit on Leicester Road to improve safety, along with an uncontrolled pedestrian crossing.
A public consultation will remain open until 24 April, with the Harborough District Council expected to decide by 24 June.
