Construction Trends in Oadby and Wigston
Oadby and Wigston's emerging Local Plan allocates six sites for around 3,015 new homes, split roughly evenly between Wigston and Oadby, with the plan now submitted to the Planning Inspectorate for examination. The borough is also part of the cross-border Gartree Road new neighbourhood, a scheme from Urban and Civic Developments and Homes England that could bring at least 850 new homes within the borough as part of a wider 4,000 home development. The council has flagged Lower Canal Street and Park Road as a brownfield regeneration opportunity. Away from these strategic sites, established residential areas keep a steady flow of extensions and loft conversions.
