Today Tuesday 7th January 2014 the Planning Application by Hallam Land for 70 houses at Lower Packington Road, Ashby, came up for consideration at Coalville Council Offices. The article and letter below are copied from the website of the Packington Nook Residents Association PNRA:
Dear Supporters
The District Council Planning Committee have this evening voted unanimously to refuse planning permission for 70 houses on Hallam’s site off Lower Packington Road. This was in spite of their Officers having recommended to permit. The Officers conceded at the meeting that there are strong sustainability arguments against the site.
Our thanks to everyone for your continued support and especially those who made objections or who came to support us in Coalville today.
It proves that the views of local people do matter and strengthens PNRA should we have to act again.
with thanks
Nigel Garnham
Chairman
Packington Nook Residents Association
