Investing in community infrastructure
A key consideration with a planning proposal such as this is to ensure that local services receive the investment they need to serve the additional demand arising from the development.
The proposed development includes the provision of a new road link to alleviate existing pressures on the Leicester Road/Warren Hills Road junction. There is also scope to include a new drop-off area for neighbouring Castle Rock School if required by the school.
In addition to these potential community benefits that will be provided directly by the proposed development, significant investment into local infrastructure such as healthcare and education will also be generated by the plans.
The scope of financial contributions will be informed by consultation carried out by North West Leicestershire District Council with statutory bodies such as the local NHS Integrated Care Board, highways authorities and the local education team on their requirements.
Agreed financial contributions will be secured via a legally-binding agreement (called a Section 106 agreement) between Barratt Redrow and the council.
We understand that community infrastructure is a key priority of existing residents. Please use our feedback questionnaire to tell us your priorities for infrastructure investment.
The development will generate funding to support local community infrastructure and services. The level of investment will be determined by the council in consultation with bodies such as the NHS, local education teams, etc.
