Field Heads Housing Dilemma: Council Defers Controversial Plan for 135 Homes

The Hinckley and Bosworth Borough Council planning committee couldnt decide on a proposal for 135 homes in Field Head near Markfield, deferring it unanimously due to strong local opposition. The site has a history of housing disputes, with a similar bid for 140 homes rejected in 2015. Residents and councillors expressed concerns about overcrowding, safety risks, and lack of amenities. Developer Taylor Wimpey argued the project aligns with growth goals, but councillors called for further highways review, leaving Field Heads future uncertain.
