Sycamore Street site planning appeal

An appeal against both the refusal of planning permission and subsequent enforcement notice on land to the east of Sycamore Street in Blaby village will be held on Thursday 21 April.   

A government Planning Inspector will hear the appeal at the Blaby District Council offices, Desford Road, Narborough. 

Interested parties will have been contacted and been able to make comments.

The hearing is open to the public and begins at 10am. To allow more people to watch the proceedings a live stream on the Council’s YouTube channel will be available at: https://www.youtube.com/@BlabyDistrictCouncil/streams 

The appeal follows the rejection of a retrospective planning application to change the use of the land next to Bouskell Park to allow for the standing of a static caravan and erection of gates. Blaby District Council planning committee made the decision at a meeting on 27 November 2025.   

The refusal resulted in the serving of an enforcement notice on 28 November 2025. This required the removal of all mobile homes, vehicles and other equipment, and a return of the site to its former condition.   

The occupants, who are the landowners, submitted their appeal to the Planning Inspectorate prior to the enforcement notice coming into effect on 31 December 2025.
