MERCURY, plans to build the first homes on a major development - as part of a huge proposal to create a new village in the Leicestershire countrysidehave been submitted.

Charnwood Borough Council gave the green light for Broadnook Garden Village in 2020, with Homes England providing funding for extra infrastructure to support the development, including a new roundabout on the A6.

Developer Davidsons Homes has now submitted plans for 109 homes as part of the ‘first phase’ of the village, which will be located between Birstall and Rothley.

The plans reveal there will be 15 one-bedroom homes, 38 twobeds, 40 three-bed properties, 12 four-beds, as well as four houses with five-bedrooms. Documents show 37 homes will be classed as affordable.

The original application for the scheme was submitted to the council in 2016 by the PalmerTomkinson Trust, the Cooper family, Barwood Homes and Davidsons Homes. The planning committee granted the go-ahead four years later. It was announced last year Davidsons Homes and Barwood Homes had bought the land for an undisclosed sum.

As well as 1,950 new homes, Broadnook Garden Village will boast a supermarket, school, care home, sports facilities, business land and an assisted-living retirement village.
