The go-ahead has been given for 350 new homes on the edge of Market Harborough.
They will go up on 36 acres of fields off Northampton Road, stretching towards the Brampton Valley Way, east of the Blackberry Grange estate.
The District council’s Planning Committee approved the scheme by Persimmon Homes at a meeting last night – the area is identified for development in the Council’s adopted Local Plan.
Committee member Cllr, Peter James, raised concerns about the new estate leading to increased traffic congestion on Northampton Road and contributing to flooding.
He was told by planning officers that proposed flooding mitigation measures were deemed acceptable by experts and the developer will contribute money towards measures to tackle traffic congestion in the town.
