About
Bonnel Homes have submitted a planning application for 345 new homes, including up to 88 affordable homes, alongside an eight hectare public park in Blaby. You can view it here.
​
The application will also generate over £1.7m of contributions to support local infrastructure, including GP surgeries, hospitals, and schools. This also includes money for improving local sports pitches.
​
Why support the proposal?
​
We believe there are several good reasons to support this proposal which we summarise as follows:
​
-
Building more homes, including affordable homes, will give more people the opportunity to have a beautiful place to live in Blaby.
-
The new eight hectare public park will be available for the community to enjoy for years to come.
-
The park will retain the gap between Blaby and Countesthorpe in perpetuity. ​​​​​
-
A new convenience store will be available for everyone in Blaby to use.
-
The proposal will create new links for the neighbourhood to Blaby Oaks, Oakfield Park, and reduce the need for pedestrians to walk on Winchester Road.
