West Lubbesthorpe
PROPOSAL
Emerging Proposal
Land at West Lubbesthorpe is located in the northwest of Blaby District to the southwest of the Leicester urban area. Lying adjacent to New Lubbesthorpe (the sustainable urban extension consented in January 2014), the site was submitted for consideration as part of Blaby District Council’s Call for Sites process in 2019 to inform the future supply of housing land to be identified for development in the new Local Plan.
Emerging plans for the site include around 825 new homes, a new 2 form-entry primary school, a new local centre and a network of open space and green infrastructure including playing fields, a sustainable drainage system, with new and extended pedestrian and cycle links into Enderby and the wider Lubbesthorpe area.
We believe that being in a sustainable location where investment in social and community infrastructure is already underway, West Lubbesthorpe can make a meaningful contribution to Blaby District Council’s housing requirements within the current Local Plan period and beyond to 2041.
ACTIVITY
Activity To Date
Following the call for sites process in 2019, Hallam Land commissioned technical survey and assessment work to inform emerging masterplanning and development proposals.
We have now submitted a formal Scoping Request to Blaby District Council to inform the preparation of an Environmental Impact Assessment, so that the environmental effects of the proposed development can be fully and robustly assessed prior to the submission of a planning application.
The EIA Scoping Request will be available to view on Blaby District Council's website (we will provide a link here when it is available). Please note that this Scoping Opinion Request is not a planning application; its purpose is for statutory consultees to respond setting out the scope of the technical assessment work they wish to see accompany any future planning application for the site.
However, as our plans progress further, we will engage with local residents, Parish Councils and the wider community to ensure that West Lubbesthorpe take into account the views of local people as well as those who might wish to come and live here.
