From the Hinkley Times
A Travellers’ site could be built on land opposite the cricket ground on Leicester Road in Hinckley.
A planning application has been put in to Hinckley and Bosworth Borough Council to build three pitches for mobile homes, three day rooms and eight parking spaces on the site.
The plans, put in by Freddie Price, also feature a stone surfaced turning area, space for three touring vans, and a children’s play area, together with associated landscaping and access road.
The development states that it will be laid out to create minimal visual impact and will be set back 70m from the public highway.
The application relates to a previous application, which included two pitches and the erection of a toilet and laundry room on land adjacent to Hissar House Farm, which was refused by councillors and turned down at appeal.
The only constraint is that the site would be on green wedge land.
But a Hinckley resident, who does not wish to be named, said that the access to the site is not ideal and the road is too busy. They said: “It’s a main road and it’s difficult to get onto.
“I tried to turn on to the road the other day but my vision was blocked because there were cars on the side of the road. It isn’t safe to have even more cars entering and leaving the road.
“Also the access road just isn’t suitable.”
People have until February 3 to comment on the application on the borough council website.
