The first phase of Blaby District Council’s public consultation has now ended and comments can no longer be submitted via this website.

This will be a major development for the district and although it is usual for a planning application to be determined within 16 weeks, the time taken to determine this particular application is anticipated to be longer because of its complexity and the need to make sure that all relevant individuals and organisations are properly consulted.

Full details of the application, maps and associated documents can be viewed on the Lubbesthorpe application page below.
