Proposals for Ansty Garden Community

Find out more about our vision

WELCOME

Fairfax is seeking input from local residents to help shape its vision for a sustainable new community on land adjoining Ansty.

The site would provide up to 1,450 new homes, including much-needed older persons and affordable housing and self-build provision. The new neighbourhood would also include community infrastructure, such as a doctor’s surgery, hockey and tennis sports facilities, primary and Special Educational Needs and Disability schools and amenities in a local centre.

As part of the proposals, a country park will also be created to the north of Ansty, which will be available for the enjoyment of all. While the vision is still being developed, the project team is keen to consult residents and other local stakeholders.

Get Involved

We are committed to providing inclusive engagement with the local community on our proposals for Ansty Garden Community. We held both a virtual public exhibition of our draft plans as well as two in-person events. The virtual and in-person exhibitions allowed individuals to both explore our initial proposals in detail and respond to them with views, comments and suggestions. Thank you to all those who took the time to provide their feedback on the proposals during our consultation period.

Virtual Consultation

The virtual public exhibition was open for comments between: 11 September – 9 October 2023. The materials displayed can still be viewed here.

In-person events

There were also two in-person events held on 20 and 23 September 2023.
