Redrow
Kirby Muxloe

Award-winning homebuilders, Barratt Redrow and David Wilson Homes, are preparing a full planning application for a new landscape-led development of high-quality, energy-efficient homes and landscaped open spaces at Blood’s Hill to the east of Kirby Muxloe.

The proposed development would include: 

• Circa 365 high-quality new family and affordable homes in a range of styles and tenures
• 25% would be provided as affordable housing, in a mix expected to include shared ownership homes that would appeal to first time buyers
• Around two-thirds of the development will be premium homes built by the company’s award-winning Redrow brand, with heritage designs inspired by the arts and crafts movement
• A smaller proportion of the development will be high-quality family homes, thoughtfully designed and crafted by the company’s five-star rated brand, David Wilson Homes
• A significant number of bungalows, providing opportunities for local people seeking to downsize
• A landscape-led design approach to respect the settling of Kirby Muxloe Castle and Kirby Fields Conservation Area
• A significant proportion of the site retained as open space, including:
  • Extensive landscaped public open spaces
  • Green corridors
  • Biodiversity areas
  • Formal and informal play areas for children and young people
  • The retention of existing mature trees and the majority of hedgerows, with additional new planting significantly increasing tree cover across the site and deliver biodiversity net gain of at least 10%
• The proposed development has been designed to be served by a bus route, providing public transport connections locally and to the wider area
• A significant package of infrastructure investment and funding to support local services, such as healthcare and education

Community consultation

Barratt Redrow and David Wilson Homes have appointed a team of professional consultants to prepare a full planning application for a landscape-led development at Blood’s Hill.

As part of this process, this website has been created for members of the community to view the emerging plans and to provide feedback. We would like to hear the priorities and aspirations of local people and prospective residents to help shape the emerging plans.

Consultation drop-in exhibition

Alongside our online consultation, we will also be presenting the information from this website at a consultation drop-in event. This will provide an opportunity for members of the community, including those who have limited access to the internet, to view the proposals, speak to members of the project team, and provide feedback.

The exhibition will take place as follows:

Date: Friday 3rd October 2025
Venue: Kirby Muxloe Village Hall, Station Road, Kirby Muxloe, LE9 2EN
Time: 3pm – 7pm
