Coalville housing scheme adds 146 homes

A housing development in Leicestershire is set to expand further with the delivery of new homes in Coalville.

Housing specialist Lovell has partnered with Harworth Group to deliver 146 homes as part of the South East Coalville Urban Extension. 

The wider scheme will see 2000 properties built in the National Forest area, alongside a primary school, local centre and new public spaces.

Bosses say the latest phase includes a mix of one to four-bedroom homes, with a portion allocated as affordable housing. 

Work is scheduled to begin in early 2026, with completion expected later that year.

Mark Roe, partnerships director for Lovell in the East Midlands, said: “This collaboration with Harworth strengthens our commitment to creating successful communities through large-scale and affordable development, alongside our successful partnership delivery."  

“Unlocking the next stage of this pivotal development allows us to continue our mission of delivering much needed quality housing ensuring buyers in the East Midlands have access to safe, affordable and quality homes they can call their own locally.” 

David Cockroft, managing director – national development delivery at Harworth Group, added: “We’re delighted to complete our first transaction with Lovell at South East Coalville.   

“This development is about more than building homes, it’s about creating a true sense of place. 

“By delivering high-quality housing alongside green spaces, essential infrastructure, a new two-form primary forest school, and a Local Quarter with retail and community amenities, we’re enhancing the appeal of South East Coalville and the wider area as a fantastic place to live. 

“This is placemaking in action.”
