Leicestershire surrounds the city of Leicester and includes Loughborough, Hinckley, Coalville, Melton Mowbray and Market Harborough, plus many villages. There is no Green Belt, although local plans use green wedges and areas of separation to keep settlements apart. Typical sites include edge-of-town and village fields, farm buildings, infill plots and former industrial land around Coalville and the north-west of the county.
Before we make an offer in Mountsorrel
Displaced parking
Councils often want to know where current users will park.
Overlooking
Courts are usually close to existing homes, so design must protect privacy.
Ground conditions
Old fuel or asbestos garage roofs need sensible handling.
In England, the revised National Planning Policy Framework published on 17 August 2026 replaced the old "tilted balance" with new settlement policies: development within a settlement should normally be approved unless the harm substantially outweighs the benefits, while land outside a settlement can gain support in defined circumstances.
Leicestershire has no designated Green Belt, so the main policy questions near Mountsorrel are usually the settlement boundary, landscape and access.
We are based in Great Barr, Birmingham, around 34 miles from Mountsorrel, and we travel to see sites across England and Wales.
