Greenfield Residential Development
Hathern

Landmark Planning obtained planning permission for David Wilson
Homes for 58 dwellings on a site at Hathern near Loughborough in
June 2010. The site was an unallocated greenfield site on the edge
of the village. We demonstrated, as part of the application that the
local planning authority did not have the requisite five year supply
of housing land and the decision to approve the scheme was
predicated on that basis. The proposed development will be
a high quality of design and construction as evidenced by the
Design and Access Statement and Building for Life Assessment
that Landmark prepared, in conjunction with the applicants.
