Historic development reports

The District Council has prepared factual reports to describe the historic development of some settlements. The reports may support a continuing programme of character appraisals and boundary reviews for the district's conservation areas. You may download the reports below.

Each factual report may be amended periodically as evidence about the development of that settlement is brought to light. If you wish to contribute to the amendment of any of the factual reports, please contact our conservation officer via james.white[at]nwleicestershire.gov.uk.
