New housing in Blaby District Council
We read Blaby District Council's planning register every day. We hold 10,736 of its planning applications going back to 2009, and 58 of those made in the last 12 months are for new homes.
It delivered 86% of the homes it needed in the 2025 Housing Delivery Test, below 95%, so it must publish an action plan to speed up delivery.
