Working with Grace Homes, we have helped secure planning consent for a development of 23 dwellings on the edge of the village of Hallaton in Leicestershire. There was considerable local opposition, but Harborough District Council’s officers considered “The scheme will be very much in keeping with the local area in scale, appearance and density and should therefore be seen to be compliant with the council’s local planning policy.” Our hardest task was the design of the access, which evolved through consultation to minimise views in to the site and hence preserve the rural character of North End.
