Avant Homes East Midlands has also committed to community contributions of around £900,000 towards the provision of local services, education and healthcare.

Avant Homes East Midlands managing director, Ben Felton, said: "With easy access to local amenities, Leicester and the wider East Midlands region, we think Burbage is an excellent place for us to build.

"We know there is a high demand for the type of practically designed, energy efficient new homes that we build from people living locally or thinking of moving to the area.

"Our insert name development will feature a mix of practically designed, energy efficient new homes at a range of price points that will enable more people to make their next homeowning step a reality. We now look forward to Hinckley and Bosworth Borough Council’s considering our plans."
