Approval has been granted by Hinckley and Bosworth Borough Council to develop 81 new homes in the popular location of Earl Shilton.

The site – delivered by the North Midlands team – will bring a range of new homes to the area, supporting the local need for quality new housing. The development will be made up of two- to four- bed properties, with the new homes designed to meet the requirements of local buyers.

The proposed site will offer a range of homes for the local community in keeping with the aesthetics of the local area. The development also offers several community benefits, including funds given to educational facilities. In addition, as part of the wider development in Earl Shilton, new jobs and training opportunities will be generated as part of the development, and funds will be pledged to the local authority to support local infrastructure.

Sean Barratt, Technical Director at Persimmon Homes North Midlands said: “We’re proud to have secured approval to deliver these new homes in Earl Shilton. Our upcoming new community will bring a wide range of new benefits to the area and we’ll continue to work closely with Hinckley and Bosworth Borough Council throughout the build process to deliver on these commitments.”

“This development will not only generate significant job opportunities throughout the lifespan of the project but will also leave a lasting legacy of community benefits for the people of Earl Shilton and the surrounding areas.”
