Construction Trends in Melton
Melton Mowbray's North Sustainable Neighbourhood has approval for three developments totalling over 1,200 homes from Taylor Wimpey, Barwood Land, and William Davis, backed by nearly 30 million pounds of local service investment. Construction has started on 175 homes at Mowbray Meadows, part of this wider scheme, while Sysonby Farm is adding further homes with a primary school and local centre to follow. Lake Terrace, a brownfield site near the River Eye, is delivering 70 affordable homes across two phases. In the town centre, the council's flagship Stockyard regeneration project has planning approval. Away from Melton Mowbray, established villages keep a steady flow of extensions and loft conversions.
