New housing development planned for Leicestershire village

Allison Homes East Midlands is set to deliver 50 new homes in the Leicestershire village of Stanton-under-Bardon.

Located off Main Street, the five-acre site will feature a mix of two, three, and four-bedroom homes, including 15 affordable units and five available through the First Homes scheme.

Biodiversity initiatives will be incorporated on-site, including the planting of new trees and the creation of open spaces with a wildflower-seeded attenuation basin.

The existing public footpath will be preserved, and financial contributions will support local services such as the NHS, education, libraries and public transport in Coalville.

Construction is set to begin in early 2025, with completion expected by summer 2026.

Karl Edwards, operations director at Allison Homes East Midlands, said: “We are going from strength to strength at Allison Homes East Midlands, and I am incredibly proud of the team for securing our third parcel of land, following the acquisition of sites in Shepshed and Anstey earlier this summer.

“We have worked incredibly hard with Mather Jamie and Caddick Land on this acquisition, and we are now looking forward to getting started on site and providing the people of Stanton-under- Bardon with a sustainable, new community.”
