Developer secures land for 65 new village homes
A developer has announced it has bought land to build 65 new homes in Rearsby.
Allison Homes East Midlands has earmarked the Gaddesby Lane site, which spans just over eight acres, for the scheme.
The properties will be energy-efficient, with 39 properties available through the open market sale and 26 designated as affordable.
The housebuilder will be making contributions worth over £190,000 to local infrastructure, such as health care, education services, libraries, outdoor sports facilities, allotments and public transport services.
Construction work is due to start next summer.
Karl Edwards, operations director at Allison Homes East Midlands, said: “I am immensely proud of the East Midlands team for securing our fourth site in Leicestershire.
"This will be a fantastic development, delivering high specification homes, community benefits and a variety of employment and training opportunities.
“It has been a pleasure to work with Clarendon Land and Fisher German on this acquisition, and now we cannot wait to introduce ourselves to the Rearsby community.”
