The infill plots that interests us around Mountsorrel
We look for infill plots across Mountsorrel and the surrounding villages, particularly where there is room for parking off the road. Mountsorrel lies about 5 miles north of Leicester in Leicestershire. We also cover Loughborough, Leicester, Oadby and the villages between them.
- Gaps in a street frontage between houses or other buildings
- Corner plots within built-up areas
- Small yards or garages between houses
- Land with or without an earlier planning history
The M1, M69 and Midland Main Line corridors carry most growth, with urban extensions around Leicester and Loughborough. In the north-west, nutrient advice for the River Mease has affected schemes, and much of the area near Coalville is former coalfield, so mining risk checks can apply.
What decides whether a site in Mountsorrel works
Character of the street
New homes need to suit the building line, height and spacing of the street.
Trees
Protected trees or trees in a conservation area can limit what fits.
Services
Connections for drainage, water and power need to be reachable.
Since 6 August 2026, non-major development on sites of 0.2 hectares or less in England has generally been exempt from mandatory biodiversity net gain, unless priority habitat is affected. That makes many small sites simpler to bring forward.
