appeal allowed – Crowland
At the wonderfully named Crowland, with its lovely three sided Trinity Bridge, we have been supporting an outline application for up to 45 dwellings. The site fronts on to the narrow Crease Drove. We designed highway improvements, but the application was still refused on the grounds of highway safety, the County Council believing the works […]
success – Ravenstone
This project started with access options to determine what could be achieved given the constrained entrance. Having found a solution, the following steps were straight forward, as we produced a Transport Statement to support the outline application for up to 37 dwellings. That application has just been granted consent.
speedy team work – Caxton Drive, Bedford
From a first telephone call on 28 April, to permission granted today, with the applicant wishing to have no conditions, it has taken just 14 weeks to successfully gain consent for a B8 trade counter unit in Bedford. For us the main issue was car parking, and the number of spaces required given the retail […]

varied conditions
Sometimes our successes can be highly technical, but nevertheless important. Having supported a planning application for 500 dwellings, school and retail units at land to the west of Toton Lane in Nottingham, the permission was conditional on works to M1 J25. Following further analysis and detailed traffic modelling, we have persuaded Highways England they can […]
appeal allowed – Heather
A development of 36 houses on Swepstone Road has been allowed at appeal. The main reason for refusal was landscape impact, but nevertheless the Inspector responded to considerable local objections by confirming our findings that the scheme would not be unacceptable on highway safety grounds.
6:5 – a close call in Great Glen
Miller Homes’ resubmitted planning application for 170 dwellings at Oaks Road was approved at Harborough’s planning committee by a squeeky 6 votes to 5. Considerable objections on every front by Hands Off Great Glen had to be rebutted over many months, following the refusal of the original application that has been scheduled for appeal by Public Inquiry […]
Bardon Hill expands again
Outline consent has been granted for a 1.3m sqft employment scheme that extends the space available at the Bardon Hill area in Coalville. The site on West Lane is immediately southeast of the new Amazon warehouse on Beveridge Lane that was promoted by the same developer. The application was supported by our Transport Assessment and Travel Plan, […]
Mill Green Road, Pinchbeck
Last night South Holland District Council’s planning committee granted outline consent for residential development of a former plant nursery to the southwest of Pinchbeck. Because of traffic impacts on single track rural roads to the west, the development was reduced in scale to 100 dwellings. That gained the approval of Lincolnshire County Council and removed […]
Technical Approval – Lubenham
Following our transport planning work that helped secure consent for Grace Homes’ scheme at Lubenham, we were retained to provide the Section 278 and Section 38 design. Both design schemes now have Technical Approval from Leicestershire County Council. We continue to work on the private drainage design.
