Hallam Land has secured planning permission on appeal for three residential developments in Lechlade, Langho and Blaby, paving the way for the delivery of up to 554 new homes.
In Lechlade, Gloucestershire, the Planning Inspectorate has allowed an appeal for up to 54 homes – 40% of which will be affordable – at land north of The Wern, following the council’s refusal of the scheme.
In Langho, Lancashire, Hallam Land has secured permission on appeal for 300 homes at land off Longsight Road, including 90 affordable properties. The development will provide 45 homes specifically designed for older residents, half of which will be affordable.
In Blaby, Leicestershire, an appeal was upheld for up to 200 homes at Blaby Golf Centre on Lutterworth Road. The scheme includes 25% affordable housing as well as the re-provision of existing retail and leisure uses, new public open space, landscaping and improved pedestrian and cycle connectivity.
Iain MacSween, managing director of Hallam Land, which is part of Henry Boot, said: “Securing planning permission on appeal is an important part of what we do, particularly where sites are helping to meet significant local housing needs and delivering wider benefits for the communities in which they are located. Achieving three successful appeal decisions in such a short period reflects the strength of our planning expertise and the commitment of our teams to working through complex planning challenges.
“These schemes have all required sustained engagement with landowners, local authorities, communities and technical advisers to develop proposals that can deliver high quality, sustainable development. Together, these three decisions will help bring forward hundreds of new homes, including affordable properties, alongside new infrastructure, open space and other community benefits. We look forward to working with our partners as each scheme moves forward.”
