The develop proposes that 75% of the homes will be rented with 25% offered for shared ownership.
Councillor Nigel Smith, Chair of the Planning Committee said: “It is unusual to receive an application for a development of solely affordable homes. This scheme provides 130 affordable homes in Coalville, which we welcome. The development also includes ten bungalows, more than is normally secured on a site of this size.”
