Church to Care Home in Enderby | Leicester News

A historic church in Enderby, built between 1903 and 1916, is set to be demolished to make way for a new children’s care home housing up to four kids aged eight to eighteen. Originally unused by the congregation, the site faced opposition over the proposed building’s height and impact on Moores Lane’s conservation area — concerns that led to revised plans. The updated design lowered the height and included a supportive, activity-rich environment with offices, a games room, lounge, dining area, four private bedrooms with bathrooms, and staff quarters. The site will also feature an eight-car parking area and a widened access road. After addressing neighborhood concerns, Blaby District Council approved the project — but with 22 strict conditions, including mandatory archaeological work before any demolition or construction begins.
