What infill plots we want near Wigston
We look for infill plots across Wigston and the surrounding villages, particularly where there is room for parking off the road. Sitting about 4 miles south-east of Leicester, Wigston is within Leicestershire, with Oadby and Leicester close by.
- Gaps in a street frontage between houses or other buildings
- Small yards or garages between houses
- Plots large enough for one or more homes with parking
- 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.
Checks we make on infill plots in Wigston
Character of the street
New homes need to suit the building line, height and spacing of the street.
Neighbours' amenity
Overlooking, loss of light and outlook are the issues planners weigh most often.
Parking and access
A safe access and enough parking can decide small schemes.
National policy in England now recognises "medium development" of 10 to 49 homes on sites up to 2.5 hectares, and asks councils to allocate at least 10% of their housing on sites of one hectare or less and a further 10% on sites of one to 2.5 hectares.
We are based in Great Barr, Birmingham, around 34 miles from Wigston, and we travel to see sites across England and Wales.
