Proposal to build 170 homes on village edge
Developers have submitted plans to build 170 homes on the edge of Fleckney. David Wilson Homes wants to construct the properties on a 18.6 acre (7.5 hectares) area of farmland to the north of the village. Planning officers at Harborough District Council are considering the scheme for a site off Long Grey and Garner Way. Documents lodged with the authority said the company proposed 40% of the homes would be affordable properties. They also said the new estate would include areas of green space, including allotments. A decision on the planning application is expected to be made later this year. Another planning application has been submitted for a further 170 homes on an adjacent field, off Leicester Road, which officers are considering.
