Summary

Open Council Network is an independent organisation. We report on Hinckley and Bosworth and are not the council. About us

The Planning Committee of Hinckley and Bosworth Council is scheduled to consider a range of planning applications, including proposals for new housing developments in Earl Shilton and Markfield. The committee will also receive updates on appeals progress and decisions delegated at a previous meeting.

Peggs Close, Earl Shilton

A significant item on the agenda is the application for the erection of 10 houses and 8 flats at Peggs Close, Earl Shilton. This application, reference 25/01169/FUL, also includes proposals for associated parking and landscaping. The report pack provides detailed information regarding this application, which will be available for the committee to review.

Land North East of Ashby Road, Markfield
