There are currently four proposals at various stages.

They include plans from Catesby Estates for around 200 homes on 16 acres of agricultural land at New Park Farm to the north of Revells Rough, and to the southeast of the town

The site sits next to an existing Taylor Wimpey development known as the Thomas Beddoes estate.

Taylor Wimpey itself is proposing a further 57 homes on land to the south of the Thomas Beddoes estate.
