Leicester City Council has appointed Clegg Construction Limited to deliver a £18.8m housing and infrastructure scheme at Stocking Farm. The contract covers construction of 50 new council homes alongside a new community open space, new highway and associated infrastructure including parking, boundary treatments, landscaping, drainage and external lighting.

Demolition works feature in the scheme. The council emphasised that a site visit during the tender period was strongly recommended because live elements on the site require minimum disruption throughout construction.

The scheme is framed around high sustainability aspirations. Clegg Construction was selected following a design and build procurement route, which allows the contractor to take responsibility for both design and delivery.
