The council plans to purchase 22 new properties at Money Hill in Ashby de la Zouch, acquired in three phases through a Section 106 planning agreement with developer Bloor Homes.
The first phase will include eight properties: four two-bedroom houses and four flats. The second phase will comprise two flats and a four-bedroom house. The third and final phase will consist of 11 two-bedroom houses.
This investment, funded by the council's Right to Buy Receipts, received approval at a Full Council meeting on Tuesday 27 October 2026, following endorsement by the Cabinet on 28 July 2026.
“"I’m pleased to announce this significant investment from our Housing Revenue Account Capital Programme, which will deliver much-needed new properties in Ashby over the next three years. We are committed to increasing our supply high quality new-build social housing that will provide new accommodation options for our tenants. I am looking forward to the first of these new properties in Ashby being completed and ready for their first tenants to move in from early 2027."
