Coalville is the focus of the district's biggest regeneration programme, with Lovell's 42 million pound Swinfen Vale scheme in South East Coalville delivering 146 new homes on a 10.4 acre site led by Harworth Estates, with the first residents moving in from September 2026. A 77 home over-55s scheme off Baker Street has also secured planning permission on disused industrial land, delivered for housing provider Trent and Dove.
