LIVE
We are creating a vibrant new community with all of its own community facilities
Shopping and Health
Shopping facilities including a supermarket, local retail, a health centre, with doctors and dentists, and much more are planned
Leisure and Play
Our leisure facilities will be built soon, with a gym, studios, changing facilities and all-weather sports pitches.
We are laying out 325 acres of new parklands, with woodlands, ponds, walking and cycling routes.
We will include children’s play areas, places to kick a ball, fly a kite and throw a frisbee; a place to walk the dog, to cycle and even ride a horse. We are already planting over 3,000 new trees in the first phase of new parkland and we have laid out a sustainable drainage system of permanent and temporary ponds that will enhance the local wildlife. For every tree or hedge we can’t avoid losing, we are replacing twofold.
The Hub
Sue is part of Lubbesthorpe Alive, a resident-led Community Interest Company working to create a thriving, welcoming, and connected community. From supporting mental health and organising food parcels, to running pub nights, book clubs, and weekend events — it’s all about people.
Joining Sue is Becky Harris, our Community Organiser, who works alongside residents and volunteers to create events, activities, and opportunities that bring people together and make Lubbesthorpe a great place to live.
Lubbesthorpe Alive is run by volunteer directors and a growing team of community volunteers — and every penny we raise goes straight back into making Lubbesthorpe an even better place to live.

Green Spaces
With half the site providing a range of green space, our parks, open spaces and facilities are being managed by the Land Trust, which is a UK charity with many years of experience of managing parkland and open spaces. The Land Trust will ensure you have a safe, clean, green and attractive environment for all to enjoy.
Residents have a stake in the stewardship of this fabulous place, helping to maintain the exceptional quality of the landscaping, green spaces, play areas and public areas so you can be confident that your neighbourhood is the best-kept in Leicestershire.
“We love living here as there is a strong sense of community, as a sufferer of anxiety and depression this little village has helped me feel at home and safe with everyone looking out for one another. We also love it because our dog Theo gets to meet lots of new friends and gets lovely country walks.”
Louise – New Lubbesthorpe Resident
