Have Your Say on the Groby Parish Neighbourhood Plan
Groby Parish Council agreed the Draft Groby Parish Neighbourhood Plan on 1st December 2026. A consultation period has now opened and will run until 17:00 hours on Monday 20th April 2026.
The Groby Parish Neighbourhood Plan will allow people who live, work and have a business in the area to have a say about where they think new houses and businesses should go and what they should look like. The Groby Parish Neighbourhood Plan will be a statutory plan which means that once it has been finalised, it will help decide planning applications in the area. The Plan area includes Groby village, Field Head, Bradgate Hill and part of The Brantings.

YOUR VIEWS MATTER AND WILL BE TAKEN INTO ACCOUNT
HOUSING SITES ASSESSMENT
Groby Parish Council, supported by Groby Parish Neighbourhood Plan Steering Group, are considering where any new housing, if necessary, might be placed within the parish. Based on identification of several potential housing sites by Hinckley and Bosworth Borough Council, the Steering Group has applied local knowledge to assess each site against clearly defined criteria. Although none of the sites are ideal, the assessment results point to the ‘least worst’ sites.
