OUTLINE PLANNING BID GOES IN FOR THE ENTIRE NEW COMMUNITY

- By HANNAH RICHARDSON

PLANS for the long-discussed new town in North West Leicestershire have now been officially submitted.

Up to 4,250 homes, three schools, shops, hotels and sports facilities could be built over swathes of farmland next to Isley Walton, close to East Midlands Airport.

The Isley Woodhouse project has been on the cards for years, with North West Leicestershire District Council having asked residents whether they would support the development during a Local Plan review in 2022.

A Local Plan sets out where house building and other developments can take place in an area, and is intended to protect communities from speculative projects.
