A new town has been proposed in Leicestershire. And it's not just any town — it’s a 4,250-home, airport-adjacent development currently under consultation, designed to reshape the East Midlands economy if approved.
As this multi-billion-pound construction project is being reviewed, the future demand for short- and long-term accommodation is clear. At Direct Renting Ltd (DRL), we're already preparing. Whether you're a landlord looking to benefit or a contractor needing housing, this is your opportunity to act early. 🧱 What Is Isley Woodhouse?
4,250 new homes (planned)
3 schools
Commercial & retail space
Hotels and leisure facilities
Major road realignment of the A453
Housing for over 10,000 future residents and workers (projected)
DRL is preparing now — ahead of potential approval and groundbreaking. 🏗 Why Contractors Will Need Accommodation
