Coalville is set to benefit from almost £1.5 million of funding to improve services and facilities in the town thanks to leading homebuilder David Wilson Homes.

The funding, which totals £1,496,246.20, comes as part of the planning agreements for two new developments being built in the town by the company.

Abbots View, on Greenhill Road, and Stenson's Quarter, off Bardon Road, will bring a total of 158 new homes to Coalville over the coming years.

Both new and existing residents will benefit from the contributions, which include £149,180.79 towards education, £27,693.11 towards healthcare facilities in the area, £876,600 for highways and a sum of £15,500 for the improvement of the level crossing at Bardon Hill.

"At David Wilson Homes we believe community investment is one of the most important aspects of any new housing scheme," said John Reddington, Managing Director at David Wilson Homes East Midlands.

"With a strong presence in Coalville, both at our Abbots View and Stenson's Quarter developments, as well as having our head office in the area, we're thrilled to be able to give back to our community.

"We pride ourselves on being able to truly support the communities in and around our developments and as the two sites progress, we'll be contributing a great deal, not only in terms of the high quality homes we will be building, but also the jobs we will be creating and financial contributions to support the area."

Specific contributions include:

  • £200,000 towards the provision of offsite affordable housing in Coalville
  • £102,700 to be used towards two six-month bus passes per home
  • £10,056 for a bus shelter and information display case at two bus stops close to the development

  • A £149,180.79 contribution towards education in the area
  • £8,532.00 monitoring fee to be paid to North West Leicestershire District Council
  • £3,347.00 monitoring fee to be paid to Leicestershire County Council
  • £27,693.11 towards healthcare
  • £9,830 towards library facilities
  • A level crossing contribution of £15,500
  • An off-site highways contribution of £876,600
  • £66,446 as a Police authority contribution
  • £8350.30 to be used towards a travel pack for each new home
  • A £6,000 travel plan monitoring fee
  • David Wilson Homes will also be contributing towards public open space maintenance

Both Abbots View and Stenson's Quarter will bring a stunning range of two, three, four and five bedroom homes and bungalows to Coalville.

The developments are ideal for first-time buyers, families and anyone looking for their forever home. Commuters are well-catered for with excellent transport links via the M1, A50 and M42 providing simple routes to Leicester, Nottingham, Derby and Birmingham.
