Introduction
Welcome to our vision for
Hayes Gardens
We are exploring a draft vision for a proposed new development in Narborough and Enderby known as Hayes Gardens.
The 57-hectare (141 acre) site, consisting of land within Carlton Park and including Enderby Golf Course, is being promoted by landowners, Santander and Blaby District Council, for inclusion within the new Blaby District Council Local Plan.
The proposed vision for Hayes Gardens represents an exceptional opportunity to integrate a vibrant, new sustainable community seamlessly with the existing surroundings. In summer 2024 we completed an engagement exercise with the local community.
Engagement so far
During May and June 2024, we undertook an engagement exercise with the community. This included sending out newsletters and feedback forms to local residents and hosting a series of drop-in events.
Our engagement was publicised via local media and on social media and our events were attended by 328 people. As part of the exercise, we received over 200 comments on our interactive map and almost 700 completed feedback forms. We would like to thank everyone who got involved.
On Wednesday 19 June 2024 we held an online briefing with representatives from BDC and Santander. You can watch a recording of the session below:
