Sustainable homes for people
Welcome to the Ashton Green website.
Ashton Green is a planned sustainable urban extension of 3,000 homes for the city. It will shape Leicester as Britain’s sustainable city by delivering a distinctive, safe, green and well connected place. It will become a thriving, prosperous mixed community with a dynamic heart and strong identity within the city.
Leicester has a need for new homes, over 20,000 within 20 years. Ashton Green has been a strategic housing allocation for many years and it will play a major role in delivering this challenging target for housing growth. There is a renewed commitment to make Ashton Green a reality through a new vision and masterplan with the aim of becoming the region’s leading example of sustainable development.
