Norton Heath: Residents Fight Against Proposed 10,000 Home Development

Local residents near Twycross Zoo are opposing a proposed development of ten thousand new homes, Norton Heath, due to concerns about its impact on their community and mental health. The project, which includes schools, shops, and leisure facilities, is in the early stages of the North West Leicestershire District Councils draft local plan. Residents fear their land may be taken against their will, as landowners present at a public meeting contradicted the councils claim that all necessary land was available. The development, projected to take forty years, is set to be completed if approved, with residents having until November twenty-eighth to submit their feedback on the draft local plan.
