A garden centre and nursery and shops is in line for replacement with nearly 50 homes.
?
Developers Cameron Homes want to clear the buildings on the 14 acre priory Nursery Garden Centre in Breedon on the Hill.
?
A planning application for 46 homes is being considered by North West Leicestershire District Council.
?
A document submitted says: ?The scheme proposes a high quality development of 46 dwellings.
?
“This will bring forward housing to meet local needs, including provision for affordable housing.
?
“The proposal is of a scale that is proportionate to the size of the settlement. It will not have any adverse affects on highway safety.
?
?Proposals will create a high quality development which respects the character of the surrounding area.?
?
Villagers have made objections to the plan. This includes concerns that it encroaches onto land to the west of the village.
?
Objectors also say the village does not have the facilities to cope with another 46 houses.
