A consortium of builders has started work on the first part of 4,500 homes planned on land on the outskirts of Leicester.
Leicestershire housebuilders Davidsons Homes, William Davis Homes and David Wilson Homes have broken ground on the first phase of 574 homes, open space and infrastructure at the Thorpebury development.
Developer CEG, the landowner and the consortium exchanged contracts earlier this year and the initial phase – known as Thorpebury-in-the-Limes – will provide housing, landscaping and green spaces including sports pitches, play areas, parkland and new walking and cycling routes.
