Summary
A massive new housing development could soon rise on farmland in East Leake, with plans for up to 600 homes, a local center, and community spaces across 42.5 hectares. Though no official application has been filed, developers argue the project won’t cause major environmental harm and don’t need a full impact assessment — despite exceeding typical thresholds. They promise half the site will remain green space for wildlife and flood control, with no protected sites nearby. Construction could begin in 2027, finishing by 2039, at around 50 homes per year. While they admit traffic, noise, and emissions are concerns, they say these can be managed. The land was previously rejected for a smaller scheme in 2019 due to location and access issues — this time, they’re proposing a different road for entry.
