## Resource

Plans just got greenlit for 130 new homes right next to the new Lidl, on land east of Zouche Way — a seven-acre site north of the A47 currently just fields. The outline approval confirms the big picture, with public spaces and drainage included. Developers Roebuck Land and Planning showcased a master plan proving the layout works, and up to 40% of homes will be affordable, including bungalows. The rest? A mix of two- to four-bedroom houses, mostly two-story with some three-story and bungalows. Residents were notified, the parish council stayed neutral but flagged flood risks — developers countered by saying this meets housing needs, brings investment, and preserves some green space. Planning committee voted unanimously in favor. New neighbors? Coming soon — and plenty of affordable options included.
