Planning Prospects appeared on behalf of St. Modwen Developments Ltd to provide expert planning evidence at a hearing determining an appeal against the refusal of North West Leicestershire District Council for a major (92,500 sq m) industrial and logistics development at Junction1 of the A50.  The case involved a range of challenging planning issues, including around the need for development, the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the surrounding area and landscape, and flood risk.  The appeal was allowed and planning permission granted.
