Land east of Ratby Lane, Markfield

A sustainable extension to Markfield

Welcome

Welcome to Taylor Wimpey’s consultation website. Thank you for your interest in the proposals for our site known as ‘Land east of Ratby Lane, Markfield’.

Taylor Wimpey is currently preparing a planning application for around 130 homes, new public open space, green infrastructure, and a children’s play area. Our vision is to create a sustainable extension to Markfield, designed to meet local needs while respecting the character and history of the area.

The site has been allocated by Hinckley and Bosworth Borough Council in their draft local plan, which sets out locations suitable for development across the borough. We want to deliver a site which integrates into the existing community of Markfield and includes thoughtfully designed green spaces and infrastructure for the benefit of the community. We want to hear what you think about our proposals so far.

Community Engagement

The input of the local community at this stage is important, so that we can understand local thoughts on the proposals before the submission of an application.

Please take the opportunity to view our initial proposals on the website and share your thoughts with us before Monday 10th March 2025, via our Have Your Say form.

We will also be holding a public exhibition event for residents to view our proposals in person and speak to the project team directly, the event details are as follows –
