Housebuilder Allison Homes East Midlands is set to bring 50 new homes to the Leicestershire village of Stanton-under-Bardon.

East Midlands housebuilder Allison Homes is set to create 50 new properties near Coalville.

This is a newly established region for the developer, which is based in Castle Donington and plans the new homes at Stanton Under Bardon.

Situated off Main Street, the five-acre site will become home to 50 two, three and four-bedroom, mixed-tenure properties, including 15 affordable homes and five that will be available through the First Homes scheme.

Allison Homes says they will be designed and developed using materials that reflect the local buildings within the village.

The company says a wide range of biodiversity initiatives will also be implemented on-site to encourage nature to grow and thrive. 

New trees will be planted and the open space on the development will include an attenuation basin seeded with wildflowers.

The housebuilder will also be retaining the existing public footpath within the site and supporting the Stanton-under-Bardon community, with financial contributions to the area's NHS, education services, library and public transport in Coalville.

Construction work on the site is scheduled to commence in early 2025 and complete in summer 2026. 

The development will be built alongside schemes in Shepshed and Anstey.

Karl Edwards, Operations Director at Allison Homes East Midlands, said: "We are going from strength to strength at Allison Homes East Midlands, and I am incredibly proud of the team for securing our third parcel of land, following the acquisition of sites in Shepshed and Anstey earlier this summer.

"We have worked incredibly hard with Mather Jamie and Caddick Land on this acquisition, and we are now looking forward to getting started on site and providing the people of Stanton-under-Bardon with a sustainable, new community."
