- Published
Developers have lodged plans to build 200 homes on farmland on the edge of Newbold Verdon.
Bloor Homes has earmarked a 20.7-acre (8.3 hectare) site, off the B585 Bosworth Lane in Leicestershire, for development.
Documents submitted by the firm to Hinckley and Bosworth Borough Council show the proposed scheme would also include a health and wellbeing hub or community shop and an area of sports pitches and school playing fields.
The council's planning officers are assessing the application and a decision on whether to grant permission could be made later this year.
