Case study – Saffron Lane, Leicester

Categorised in: Company news | Posted on: 1 July 2025

Located on the site of Leicester’s former velodrome in the south of the city, the £14m housing scheme being developed by Lovell Homes will see the total transformation of the brownfield site, and the provision of 38 much-needed new homes for inclusion on the city council’s housing register. The homes, eight of which will be wheelchair accessible bungalows, will all be low carbon and energy efficient.

The Saffron Lane project, which is ongoing, sees Civils & Lintels partner with its long-standing client L Healy Ltd, the civil engineering and groundworks specialist. Civils & Lintel’s remit on this residential housing project, is to provide a wide range of above and below ground drainage and sewerage solutions.

Delivered direct to site, the Civils & Lintels team was present for the deliveries, and also installation.
