Homebuyers and local residents are being invited to take a 'first look' at plans for a new housing development near Coalville.

It will be the first time that prices and detailed plans for the homes - at Stanton Under Bardon - will be released, along with the opportunity for prospective buyers to reserve the pick of the plots. 

The launch, at Kirby Muxloe Golf Club, in Station Road, takes place on Thursday, June 19, between 12pm to 7pm.

The 50-home development, named St Mary's Chase, is the latest addition to the Allison Homes' portfolio. 

It is also the first development in the region to officially come under Allison Homes' newly created East Midlands division.  

Ryan Asher-Powell, construction manager for the development, said: "We are keen to become an intrinsic and trusted part of the local community.

"The launch event is the perfect opportunity to show residents and home buyers detailed plans of the selection and quality of the homes being built in this beautiful village location."

Work on the site, off Main Street, in Stanton under Bardon, near Coalville, began last month and is already progressing well with the developer putting in footings and creating the road system for the development.

Kerri Bywater, new homes board of management partner at William H Brown, said: "Excitement is growing among home buyers interested in St Mary's Chase. 

"The launch event will be the very first time that brochures and price lists will be available and the reservation list will open.

"Guests will also have the opportunity to speak to the Allison Homes team and to us as selling agents for the site."

The development, which is located at the edge of the village, will eventually deliver a collection of two, three, and four-bedroom homes and will include eight affordable homes. 

Work began on the site last month

"The show home and marketing suite is expected to be completed by the Autumn."

The collection includes brand new house designs as well as 'buyer favourites'.

Amy Gormley, head of sales at Allison Homes East Midlands, said: "This is a really important day for the community and potential homebuyers.  

"We know that it can be unsettling when developers come to town, but we are responsible builders whose mission is to enhance communities. Therefore, it is very important to us to not only provide quality homes but also ensure we are creating a new sustainable community by extension. 

"This event will showcase the quality, design and layout of the fabulous properties that will soon be available to buy."

Allison Homes says it has worked closely with the council's planning officers, and the site is interspersed with significant areas of open space that are being re-sculpted to provide open green spaces - as well as creating a play area and retaining the existing public footpath through the site. 

Around £600,000 will be invested into local facilities and services as part of a Section 106 agreement and will be allocated to the local primary school, the nearby secondary school, Markfield Medical Centre and Stanton under Bardon Recreation Ground.



Funds will also be allocated to library facilities, public transport and local waste management services.

Kerri said that more than 100 people had already registered their interest in the development, with both local residents and house hunters from further afield showing an interest in the site. 

She added: "Local home buyers have had St Mary's Chase on their radar for some time now.

"It's a lovely village, and Allison Homes is building a good mix of properties on the site."
