Show Notes
Leicester City Council and neighboring districts are collaborating to address a significant housing shortage, with a projected need for thousands of additional homes by 2046. New planning rules have increased pressure on surrounding areas, including Charnwood, Blaby, and North West Leicestershire, to build more homes. Charnwood and Blaby plan to add around 65 extra homes annually by 2036, with North West Leicestershire contributing 15. By 2046, these numbers could rise to 261, 258, and 62 homes, respectively. The deal has officer-level support, but some councils are still considering their options. The deadline for submitting local plans is December 31, 2026, to avoid failing cooperation rules and hindering regional growth.
