Leicester’s Ashton Green development is set to enter its fourth phase with Tilia Homes appointed as the preferred developer. The company plans to build approximately 560 homes across 55 acres, with up to 30% designated as affordable housing for rent or shared ownership.
Ashton Green, a 320-acre mixed-use project on the city’s northern edge, is planned to eventually deliver around 3,000 homes alongside community, health, retail, and employment facilities. The first 100 houses were completed in 2020. The second phase has delivered 245 of 307 homes, while a third phase of 441 dwellings is expected to begin next year.
Leicester City Council is the main landowner and promoter of the development, with the Diocese of Leicester owning 13 acres of the site. The fourth phase will start once planning permission is secured, continuing the city’s efforts to meet housing demand and support local economic growth.
Tilia Homes, part of the untypical group, previously delivered the second phase of Ashton Green and will continue its work under the Tilia Homes brand, focusing on sustainable residential communities aligned with Leicester’s growth strategy.
