About Barwell - Planning Applications & Local Development

Barwell is a thriving village and civil parish located in Leicestershire, England, with a population that grew from 8,750 in 2001 to 9,022 by the 2011 census. The name "Barwell," meaning "Stream of the Boar," is derived from a local legend about a boar that drank from a nearby brook. This brook is a local water source that may contribute to the River Soar or Avon, both of which are tributaries of the River Trent, making Barwell an interesting area for planning applications related to water management and community development. The other has a population of approximately 9,152 (2021 estimate). It sits within the Hinckley and Bosworth district.
