Leicestershire Green Space Housing Battle | Leicester News

Thirty-nine new homes planned for a protected green space in Leicestershire are sparking fierce local opposition—nearly 800 residents signed a petition protesting the development near Gartree Road, citing concerns over traffic, flooding, and wildlife. Developers Cameron Homes defend the project as high-quality and affordable, but locals argue it undermines a vital green corridor they’ve worked to preserve. A local councillor adds that confusing timing around planning changes has fueled the backlash. With 34 additional objections, the council faces a tough decision by early September, urged to thoroughly assess the long-term impact.
