Summary
Barratt Redrow is set to build 400 new homes in Whitwick, Leicestershire, sparking fierce local opposition. The plan includes a new road, school drop-off zone, and green spaces — all part of a “gas-free, low carbon” vision.

A public consultation is underway, with a formal application expected in autumn 2026 — setting the stage for a heated community showdown.
