Miller Homes is currently preparing a full planning application for approximately 94 dwellings and public open space on this site in Desford. The scheme will deliver a mix of open market sales and affordable homes to meet local need.
Miller Homes successfully completed the adjoining residential development know as ‘Dukes Field’ providing 80 homes. This scheme represents Phase 2 of that development.

The proposed site totals circa 3.68ha of land on the eastern edge of Desford. The site comprises an agricultural field associated with Manor Hill Farm. To the west and north of the site lies residential development, and to the east and south further agricultural land.
Miller Homes was founded in 1935 and is one of the UK’s largest and most successful house builders. They pride themselves on their attention to detail, ensuring that all homes are delivered to the highest professional standards, and as energy efficient as possible. There is also a heavy focus on placemaking, local communities and ensuring development complements and enhances existing infrastructure.
Miller Homes understand that residents will be keen to understand the proposals in more detail. This website and its content have been designed with that in mind and aim to explain the nature of the proposals and their unique benefits in providing a comprehensive response to meeting the housing, commercial and infrastructure needs of the town and wider Borough into the future.
Miller Homes wish to share their proposal for the site through a programme of stakeholder engagement and public consultation. This Virtual Exhibition forms part of that programme.
The purpose of this consultation is to inform local residents about the proposed development and offer an opportunity for you to tell us what is important to you and what you would like to see from this development.
Details of the proposal can be accessed on the website, and we hope that you will use the Feedback Form to tell us your views. All comments received will be reviewed at the close of the Exhibition and will ultimately feed into the preparation and submission of a planning application.
