Paws Aid (2016) Ltd has submitted a new application to develop storage units on a 1.7-acre plot of land at Langham Bridge, Coventry Road, Narborough. The company previously applied for planning permission in 2018, but Blaby District Council (BDC) rejected the proposal, citing concerns over intrusion and flood risks.
The land, classified as agricultural, has been unused for farming for several years. Planning documents state that its small size and disuse make it unsuitable for continued agricultural use. The site has instead been used for various activities, including car repairs and storage. A semi-derelict structure currently serves as a storage facility, and the land is described as overgrown.
Paws Aid Ltd argues that no alternative sites are available for this type of development and maintains that the land is not at high flood risk. BDC is expected to decide on the application by Wednesday, 28 May.
