Walkers buys land for new plant from City Council

LAND CLOSE to Walkers

Snack Foods’ main factory site in Leicester is being earmarked as the location for a potato washing plant after the company agreed a £3.5m purchase of the 6.4acre site near Thurcaston Road with the city council.

The sale, which could bring at least 40 jobs, is conditional on planning permission and developer legal agreements, but providing these are in place, construction of the new building could get under way this summer.

As part of the terms of the land sale, the council will fund a £2.25m estate road to serve the new plant and open up access to adjoining land owned by the council at Ashton Green.

Leicester City Council is the principal landowner and promoter of Ashton Green, a sustainable urban extension to the north of Leicester comprising 320 acres of greenfield land. When complete, it will provide up to 3,000 homes, employment land, retail space and around 13 acres of green space.

Work begins on new 6th Form college in Corby

WORK HAS started on transforming Chisholm House in Corby into a new state of the art campus, for 16 – 18-year olds, ahead of its opening in time for the start of the Autumn term.

Once completed, the 40,000 sq ft Corby Sixth Form will offer a range of A Level subjects and comprise an impressive new entrance, more than 25 classrooms, state of the art science labs, resource centres and performance areas. The students will be able to enjoy an external roof terrace, a modern café and common room areas – all in a town centre location.

The new campus is being delivered in partnership between The Bedford College Group and North Northamptonshire Council. The 6th Form will be run by The Bedford College Group from Autumn 2023.

The project is being facilitated through the Corby Towns Fund, which sees the Corby area receiving £19.9m from central Government for four projects, including the new sixth form centre.

Control over number of Houses in Multiple Occupation extended

LIMITS to the number of homes being converted into Houses in Multiple Occupation (HMOs) in parts of Leicester came into effect in February.

The measures have been introduced following a public consultation with residents who raised concerns about parking problems, litter, antisocial behaviour and noise linked to high numbers of HMOs in their neighbourhoods.

Prior to this change, planning consent was not needed to convert a house into a HMO designed for between three and six people to live in. However, where there is evidence that high numbers of HMOs in a particular area is having a negative impact upon that neighbourhood, councils can introduce a legal requirement, called an Article 4 Direction, which would mean planning permission is needed for the change of use.

An Article 4 Direction has already been in place since 2013 in several areas of the city, to control the number of HMOs.

The latest move sees Leicester City Council expanding - and in some cases joining together - those areas to include thousands more houses in areas where high numbers of HMOs exist. It follows an eight-week public consultation process which ran from November 2021 until January 2022.

The previous Article 4 Direction covered parts of the West End, streets near to De Montfort University’s campus and Leicester Royal Infirmary, numerous streets in the area between New Walk and HMP Leicester, as well as most of Clarendon Park and a section south of Lancaster Road.

The West End zone will now be extended to stretch from Rowley Fields, to Westcotes, Newfoundpool and parts of the Waterside area, while the Clarendon Park area will incorporate much of Knighton Fields, Knighton, Stoneygate and part of Aylestone.

A third new area will include much of Spinney Hills and Highfields.

The proportion of HMOs across the city as a whole is just under seven percent of housing stock; however in some parts of the areas covered by the Article 4 Direction, HMOs account for between 25 and 38 percent of housing stock.
