The Proposal | Land South of Lutterworth Road, Lutterworth

Vision

The Vision for the site is to create a high quality residential development of up to 90 homes, providing a range of housing types including affordable housing, all in walking distance of the range of services located in Lutterworth.

Work has commenced on commissioning a number of technical studies to support the sites promotion and any future outline application for residential development. The outcome of the technical studies may result in changes to the illustrative layout as well as meeting up to date policy requirements.

The mix of housing is not fixed at this stage, but will include 40% affordable housing. The mix of housing will depend on local needs and will be determined by Harborough District Council. There may also be the opportunity to include homes to meet particular needs, e.g. homes for the elderly, downsizers and smaller properties for those looking to get on the property ladder.
