A scheme to build over 200 homes off Burley Road in Oakham has been approved after outline permission was already given.
60 will be affordable and 10 self-build on the land which backs onto Oakham School's Wilson Field and Oakham Veterinary Hospital on Ashwell Road.
Outline planning permission was also given for a scheme last night to allow more adults in Rutland with additional needs to live independently close to home. 125 letters of support were received as well as backing from Ketton Parish Council for the development on Luffenham Road near Park Farm Stud, who have objected to the scheme as they believe it could threaten their business. It's proposed up to seven adults will be able to live in supported living accommodation on the site in Ketton with up to 22 houses being built next door to help fund the initiative.
