Bid to build 95 new homes in Croft given go ahead
Eleven acres (110, 000sq m) of fields south of the village of Croft in Leicestershire have been earmarked for 95 new homes, despite objections from residents. Estate agent Savills applied to Blaby District Council on behalf of developer Bellway Homes for outline planning permission to construct the new homes. The council received 18 objections to the plan, with concerns raised about the impact the extra homes would have on traffic in the small village, local services, wildlife and the environment. The authority has granted permission for the homes to built in principle, but the developer will need to submit more detailed plans to the council before any construction work can start. Agricultural land which will be lost to make way for the new homes is not considered high enough quality to block the application, the council said. The developer will be asked to make payments of more than £260,000 to support local services which will be put under extra pressure by the new homes. The contributions include £167,122 towards a new sports pitch, £73,568 to support GP services, £9,456 towards secondary schools, £2,267 towards refuse collection and £5,064 for the police.
