Vistry to bring £30m housing development to Leicestershire

Vistry Group has secured planning approval for a £31m development that will bring 140 new homes to Leicester Road in Earl Shilton.
Greenlit by Hinckley and Bosworth Borough Council, the project promises to deliver affordable housing to the area.
In a further boost, Vistry has also finalised a contract with social enterprise Places for People, to deliver 83 of the affordable homes on the northern edge of the town.
The development will feature a diverse mix of one, two, three and four-bedroom houses and maisonettes.
Work is expected to start in spring 2025.
Andy Reynolds, managing director of Vistry South East Midlands said: “We are thrilled to have secured planning permission to start work on these much-needed mixed-tenure homes in the historic town of Earl Shilton. Working in partnership with Places for People means that this development will not only meet the housing needs of the area but will blend family-friendly homes and green open spaces to create a thriving and sustainable community for the future.”
Nilam Buchanan, regional managing director of developments central and north from Places for People said: “We are delighted to partner with Vistry Group on this significant development in Earl Shilton to bring forward more high-quality, affordable homes that foster vibrant and sustainable communities.
“The mix of one-, two-, three-, and four-bedroom homes will cater to a diverse range of people, ensuring that everyone has access to a safe and comfortable living environment. We know how vitally important a sustainable home can be for people, and we’re excited to see modern methods of construction used to reduce the carbon footprint of these homes, contributing to a greener future for all. We look forward to seeing this development come to life and making a positive impact on the local community.”
