Builders told to halt housing scheme over 'breaches'

Builders ordered to halt an 80-home Sapcote development after Blaby Council issued a 56-day stop for breaching planning conditions.
Council says key environmental safeguards were missing — including badger protection, biodiversity zones, water management and a construction traffic plan.
William Davis Homes says it has paused work, submitted the needed reports and is cooperating with the council, but could face fines or court action if rules aren’t met.
