Award-winning Midlands developers Springbourne Homes has submitted plans for an exciting new site in Leicestershire.

The Nuneaton-based firm is seeking full planning approval for 19 aspirational homes at an inspirational location on Bosworth Road, Wellsborough, near Market Bosworth.

The 10-acre site was originally the setting for the former Hornsey Rise Care Home, which first opened in 1921 but closed down in 2012 and has now been demolished to make way for the architect-designed homes.

Springbourne’s Managing Director Adrian Burr said: “We have already received a lot of interest in this development because it is in such an enviable position in the heart of the Leicestershire countryside.

“Our aim is to deliver homes as stunning as the location and we are working closely with Hinckley and Bosworth Borough Council to create something truly special.

“We have just submitted our plans to Hinckley and Bosworth Borough Council for full planning permission and we’re hoping to make a formal announcement and publish details of our scheme very soon.”

Springbourne, whose headquarters are in Coton Road, Nuneaton, has already been granted outline planning permission by the council and has now submitted detailed plans of the homes and the lay-out of the development for final approval.

It’s hoped that Phase One of the project will begin later this spring with the sought-after homes going on sale soon afterwards.

The development will be called Hornsey Rise in homage to the heritage and history of the site.
