Ashton Green (Beaumont Leys - North-West Leicester) is a planned sustainable urban extension of 3,000 homes for
city. It will shape Leicester as Britain’s sustainable city by
delivering a distinctive, safe, green and well connected place.
Hamilton is located in the north-east of Leicester and is one of two major ‘Urban Extensions’ in the City. Development began here in the late 1980s.
In the UK Landscape Awards 2010, Leicester City Council was commended in
the East Midlands region for its entry for
Freemen's Meadow - Bede Island South. The UK Landscape Award is in recognition of the good
practice used by
the council to ensure the development was designed and created to the
highest possible standard.
