Isley Woodhouse is a planned community in Leicestershire, England, in Isley cum Langley parish, close to East Midlands Airport.
History
editIn 2022, North West Leicestershire District Council put forward plans for a new settlement with around 4,700 homes and a primary school, on land to the south-west of East Midlands Airport.[1] The proposals were included in a public consultation for a Local Plan review in February and March 2024.[2] Consultation documents stated that the 781-acre (316 ha)[3] site had potential for 4,500 homes, and that the development could take more than 20 years to complete, with up to 1,900 homes built by 2040.[4]
The development is a response to population growth; the district council predicted that creation of 686 new homes per year would be required across its area between 2024 and 2040.[5]
