This interactive website will guide you through the proposals for the site, and towards the end ask you to complete a short survey to gain your views.
Your views on our proposals really do matter to us. The feedback we
receive will be used to improve the scheme and will accompany any
planning application we make in future.

The site is located between Southfields Drive and The Newry, just
south of Atlee Way (A563).
The regeneration site is actually two sites combined: the former
Southfields Infant school and The Newry Assessment Centre, both of
which have now been closed for around 10 years.
Leicester City Council, with the help of some external funding, have
identifed this site as an opportunity to deliver new council homes
for Leicester residents.
The council has started the process to find a contractor to demolish
the derelict buildings on the site ready for development.

When the existing buildings have been removed, the council proposes
to build new council housing on this site. This is part of its wider
commitment to deliver 1,500 new council homes across Leicester by 2023.
The proposed scheme can be broken down into 4 key areas:

 | Proposed improvements |
 | New family homes |
 | New flats |
 | New green space |
 | Improved pedestrian/cycle route |
The proposals take into account the existing housing that surrounds
the site. They also consider the connections between the streets and
community facilities such as the shops along Southfields Drive.
The new proposals aim to build on that community by delivering new
high quality homes for families on the waiting list. Each house and
flat will have its own front door and residents will share the
new well-lit, landscaped public streets, paths, and green spaces.
