The homes received the nod from a government inspector after a call from developers
Details of a new housing estate in Leicestershire described as “dangerous” by planners have been submitted.
A bid to build 225 homes in Ratby was approved on appeal by a government inspector after Hinckley and Bosworth councilors initially blocked the plan in August 2023.
At the time, ward councilor Chris Boothby called it “the most ridiculous, speculative and dangerous application” he had “ever come across” due to the speed of traffic in Desford Lane, where the estate would be built.
Developer Gladman and Bletsoe have now outlined the size and type of homes to be built off the road.
The plan is to build six one-bed maisonettes, 12 two-bed bungalows, 42 two-bed houses, 84 three-bed houses, 57 four-bed houses and 24 five-bed houses.
