Planning committee

Decided by North West Leicestershire Planning Committee on 6 May 2026.

Approved

As officers recommended.

  • Officers advised approval because the benefits of a self-build home outweighed the policy harm, including a significant shortfall in self-build plots.
  • A parish council and one third-party objector raised policy, countryside, sustainability and highway concerns, while the agent supported the proposal.
  • The committee approved the application in line with the officer recommendation after a recorded vote.
