Council planners brand proposals for a further 76 homes at the Leicester estate as 'unacceptable'
A plan to add 76 further homes to a major new housing estate in Leicester has been blocked by the city council.
Barratt Homes already has permission to build 306 homes at its City Heights development on the former Blackbird Road Playing Fields, off Somerset Avenue and Heacham Drive. However council planners rejected an application for an additional 76 houses, saying it repeated mistakes from a previous bid to add 96 further homes which was rejected in December 2021.
They said the "unacceptable" plan did not include enough open space and some of the new homes did not have gardens as the space had been used for parking, said thePlanning officers also criticised the road layout, saying it was "very much geared towards cars rather than people or bikes" and there "did not appear to be any clear places to sit, places to chat or play within any of the streets".
