Another in a recent run of appeal successes sees David Wilson Homes’ appeal against refusal of their application for 150 dwellings at Barkby Road in Queniborough allowed. Hard work at the application stage meant highways matters were resolved with Leicestershire County Council and were not a reason for refusal. The biggest challenge was designing a mitigation scheme at the Queniborough Crossroads to mitigate the traffic increase while minimising the impact on street trees, with arboricultural assistance from FPCR. The key reason for refusal was landscape, ably dealt with by team members Pegasus, and although highways was not a reason for refusal, we prepared appeal statements in response to objections by interested parties.
