Broadnook, officially Broadnook Garden Village, is a village and planned community located in Charnwood, Leicestershire. Described as the "first garden village" in Leicestershire,[1] Broadnook sits directly to the north of Birstall and roughly 4 miles (6.4 km) from Leicester's city centre.

History

The earliest mentions of Broadnook are in Charnwood's local plan, adopted 9 November 2015, under the working title "North of Birstall Direction of Growth". The planning application for the village would be approved in November 2020,[2] with 460 acres required for the project being sold to its developers in July 2022;[3] more than 2,000 homes are planned, alongside a business park and other amenities.[4] Construction works on the site would begin in early 2023.[5]

Plans to establish a new civil parish for Broadnook were approved on 15 June 2026, with the council set to be established on 1 April 2027;[6] Broadnook currently sits within the civil parishes of Rothley, Thurcaston and Cropston, and Wanlip. Broadnook has been maintained by the charitable trust Broadnook Community Trust since April 2023.[7][8][9]
