Pleasing news this week that Charnwood Borough Council have approved our client’s planning application for up to 61,000sqm of employment use. The development will be Phase 2 of the successful Watermead Business Park on the northern edge of Leicester. SGP’s illustrative masterplan below. The site is west of the A607 Syston Bypass and south of the A46 Leicester Western Bypass, where those two roads come together at the Hobby Horse roundabout. A notoriously congested area, our Transport Assessment and Travel Plan nevertheless received no objections from Leicestershire County Council, Leicester City Council, and National Highways.
