The Site
The site and its surroundings
The site is located on the south-western edge of Kegworth, bounded by Ashby Road to the north, existing development on Springfield and Whiteholmes Grove to the east, and open countryside to the south and west. The wider area includes the M1 and East Midlands Airport to the west, with the Kegworth Bypass to the south.
Kegworth benefits from a range of existing services close to the site, including schools, a GP surgery, library, and sports and recreation facilities. The site is also well connected by public transport, with the Skylink Derby service running along Ashby Road and providing direct connections to Loughborough, Leicester, East Midlands Gateway, East Midlands Airport and Derby. The site also benefits from good access to the M1, A42 and A453.
