Plans have been submitted to develop a 20.7-acre site on the outskirts of Newbold Verdon, Leicestershire, with 200 new homes. The application, lodged by Bloor Homes, outlines proposals for residential development alongside community infrastructure, including a potential health and wellbeing hub or retail unit, as well as sports facilities and expanded school playing fields.
The proposed site is situated off Bosworth Lane, B585, and currently comprises agricultural land. Hinckley and Bosworth Borough Council is reviewing the application, with a planning decision expected later this year.
The development reflects continued demand for housing in rural areas, with implications for local infrastructure, service providers, and supply chain partners operating in the construction, education, and healthcare sectors.
