Construction Trends in Blaby
Blaby's draft Local Plan sets a target of 11,898 new homes by 2042, with two major garden village style developments proposed: around 3,500 homes at Whetstone Pastures south of Whetstone and Countesthorpe, and around 4,500 homes at Stoney Stanton. In Kirby Muxloe, land north of Hinckley Road could add up to 660 further homes to the 880 already permitted. The council is also buying 35 affordable properties in Countesthorpe, alongside a separate application for 154 homes in Huncote. Away from these strategic sites, established towns keep a steady flow of extensions and loft conversions.
