A major development near East Midlands Airport aims to bring 4,250 new homes to the region, with plans for schools, leisure facilities, and commercial spaces. The proposal, set in farmland adjacent to Isley Walton and close to Castle Donington in North West Leicestershire, also includes two primary schools, a secondary school, and a sports centre.
The development, known as Isley Woodhouse, could introduce approximately 10,000 new residents to the area, according to the developers, Harworth Group and Caesarea Development Holdings. It is part of the North West Leicestershire District Council’s local plan, which identifies suitable locations for residential and commercial developments.
In addition to housing, two neighbourhood centres are proposed to include local shops, restaurants, and hotels, along with ample green spaces for residents. The outline application is now submitted for approval, with further details on housing types and layouts to be provided later. The development will offer a range of housing, including detached, semi-detached, terraced, and apartment options.
If approved, the project is expected to support local economic growth and improve infrastructure in the area.
