Thrussington Residents Fight Housing Development

A proposed housing development in Thrussington, Leicestershire, is sparking controversy. Bellway Homes plans to build 64 homes on a 6-acre site, including fields, a house, and outbuildings. Despite hundreds of objections, Charnwood Borough Councils planning committee is set to approve the plans. Villagers fear the development will destroy Thrussingtons rural character, impact traffic, flooding, and wildlife, and overwhelm local facilities. The MP for Melton and Syston warned of significant growth, and parish councils have formally objected. The planning officers report acknowledges impacts on the Conservation Area and Wreake House, but argues the housing benefit outweighs harm. The council meeting to decide is scheduled for December 11th at 5 PM. DNN | The Daily News Now! The world’s first global local news network. Every city. Every story. AI powered. Hosted on Acast.
