‘Major step forward’ for 2,000-home development

Hugglescote Grange

A new 2,000-home community within the National Forest in Leicestershire is a step closer to being created as the first parcels of land on the site have been put up for sale.

It is being seen as a key early step for the development at Hugglescote Grange, which has a 15-year development plan to become home to nearly 5,000 people.

Two land parcels at the Harworth Group development are being sold by Fisher German and Mather Jamie.

David Cockroft, director for Midlands at Harworth Group, said: “This is a major step forward for Harworth Group in the Midlands, marking the commencement of our first key large-scale residential development in the Midlands.

“We’ve spent the past twelve months effectively preparing land for housebuilders to ‘plug and play’ within the bounds of the site’s planning consent and I look forward to seeing significant interest in the scheme.”

The site is located to the south of Grange Road in Hugglescote, near Coalville. The two fully-serviced, warrantied parcels will cater for a combined total of 200 plots and can either be bought as a whole or separately.

Luke Brafield, associate director at Fisher German, said: “Hugglescote Grange presents a great opportunity for housebuilders to acquire fully-serviced, de-risked land in a desirable area that will eventually form a vibrant, sustainable community of nearly 5,000 residents.”
