Green light for housing scheme

Godwin Developments is celebrating after securing planning permission for a housing development in the East Midlands.

The firm has been granted outline permission to build up to 50 family homes at Shepshed, in Leicestershire.

Godwin has a fast-growing nationwide portfolio, including nearly 3,000 residential units nationwide.

The business operates across the build-to-rent sector, covering both multi-family and single-family housing, as well as affordable homes with a number of consented residential developments, including in Derby.

Nick Harrison, planning director at Godwin Developments said: “We’re pleased to have secured planning permission for our residential development in Shepshed, which will play a vital role in meeting the growing demand for new homes in the area.

“This housing scheme will support the council’s strategy for sustainable development, while also promoting Shepshed as a desirable place for people of all ages to live, work and play.”
