Summary
Four hundred new homes planned for Whitwick near The Castle Rock School are sparking fierce local opposition. Developers Barratt Redrow tout benefits like a new road, school drop-off, affordable housing, and green spaces—but council leaders and residents say the area doesn’t need them and the community is united against the project. A petition with over 400 signatures shows mounting resistance, while officials warn of environmental impacts. Developers stand by their plans, calling it sustainable development, but the battle between growth and community voice is far from over.
