A housebuilder has acquired a site in the village of Anstey, Leicestershire, that is set to make way for 60 new homes.
The development in Anstey will be situated on Gynsill Lane and span approximately five acres. A total of 60 two, three, four and five bedroom homes will be provided by Allison Homes East Midlands, 18 of which will be affordable homes available through Rent and Shared Ownership.
The housebuilder will also be enhancing the environment and encouraging nature to thrive by retaining all water features on the site, providing an additional wet attenuation basin and planting wildflower seeds to increase the development’s biodiversity.
Subject to planning consent, construction work is due to commence on the site in early spring 2025 and it is expected that the development will be complete in late 2026.
Alongside building new homes, Allison Homes East Midlands will be supporting the local community by providing financial contributions to local allotments, outdoor sports facilities, Anstey Library, primary and secondary schools in the area and healthcare services in Glenfield and Anstey, as well as to enhance local bus stops and off-site open space and parks, as part of the agreed S106 obligations for the development.
Karl Edwards, Operations Director for Allison Homes East Midlands, said: “Securing this site in Anstey, our region’s second parcel of land, is an achievement that we are extremely proud of. The team have been working tirelessly with Mather Jamie and Clarendon Land to reach this milestone. We are now very much looking forward to introducing ourselves and our new homes to the Anstey community in 2025.
“This new development will deliver 60 high-quality homes, as well as a host of new employment and training opportunities. At Allison Homes we take our social responsibilities as a housebuilder very seriously and will be committed to supporting and being part of the local existing community. We will also be working hard to establish our presence across the wider East Midlands region over the coming months, as part of our exciting growth plans.”
