Last year as a community we raised over £22k to pay for a barrister to fight the planning application behind the allotments on Shenton Lane and won .
Unfortunately Gladman have put in a brand new planning application with a different entrance as they have purchased a house in York close which they are going to knock down to create access through to the site.
If you objected last year and felt strongly about this proposed development then please object again following the link .
Important please remember your objection from last time does not count!
Deadline for objecting to this application is Wednesday 2nd October.

Bosworth Vision Planning Group have a consultation at the Dixie Grammar School hall - it’s vitally important that you have your say on the proposed level of new houses which HBBC want to build in Bosworth over the next 17 years.
We won the appeal against Gladman for building on this site .However, once again they are trying to get planning on this site .
Whilst Gladman would like you to respond to their consultation, any responses benefit them, which is not helpful in terms of being able to object .
If you do want to object to the proposal for yet another inappropriate development in Market Bosworth then please wait until the formal planning application is made public by Hinckley and Bosworth council which will be several several weeks away .
Do not respond to this leaflet as it is not from Hinckley and Bosworth council .
THE GLADMAN FIGHT CONTINUES
Gladman have now submitted some amendments to their planning application for the 125 houses development of Shenton Lane.
These amendments are very technical and almost impossible for us to understand.
THIS IS A DELIBERATE PLOY BY GLADMAN WHO HOPE THAT THEY WILL NOT RECEIVE OBJECTIONS – SO WE MUST ALL ACT AGAIN NOW.
The deadline for objecting is FRIDAY 16TH JUNE
You can object in 2 ways:
1. Go online to www.hinckley-bosworth.gov.uk and enter 22/00167/OUT and follow the link in the purple box
2. Send an email to planning@hinckley-bosworth.gov.uk
You must use the reference 22/00167/OUT (Re-Consultation)
And you MUST make sure you include your Name and Address
Even if you have objected before you must do so again.
If we are going to stop this development it is vital we all send our objections in, which can only be based on concerns about traffic, speculative development, not conforming with the Neighbourhood plan, damage to the landscape etc.
This letter was received by email on the 2nd of June and relates to amended plans by Gladman.

Crowd funding has proved an amazing success and united the Community against the Gladman proposals. Total raised so far is £22,800 (includes cheques, cash and bank transfers as well as the online donations. These are still being accepted).
Gladman Developments is well known for its substantive investment in legal teams to fight Appeals. This is therefore a crucial time for Market Bosworth, to combat the Power of this aggressive company (now part of Barratt Homes).
To Cover the Cost of the Barrister our Community and Friends are aiming to raise £25,000 by the 22nd May to add to the funds provided by the Parish Council.
Our plan is to do this through Crowd Funding, our Fundraising page is:
www.crowdfunder.co.uk/p/market-bosworth-community
Please help us and our community fight for the survival of our rural community, valued by residents and visitors, before it is overrun by more traffic, schools constantly building into their playing fields to provide for local children, and our GP and Dental Practices are overwhelmed with demand. These will be rendered unsustainable by developers who fail to grasp the impact of their actions.
However much or little you can give will be much appre
To oppose speculative applications for housing developments in rural areas around Market Bosworth that are not in the neighbourhood plan.
Gladman appeal against the non-determination of their planning application.
Leicestershire Highways response to Gladman 2 - The Applicant has failed to demonstrate that a safe and suitable access route to the site for all highway users can be achieved to/from the site along Shenton Lane, and from Warwick Road,
contrary to paragraph 110 of the National Planning Policy Framework.
Gladman make minor amendments to their application stating changes in highways approach. No real updates are evident - but residents renew objections.

The LHA advises the following reasons for refusal:
highway users can be achieved to/from the site along Shenton Lane, and from Warwick Road,
contrary to paragraph 110 of the National Planning Policy Framework.
network contrary to paragraph 110 of the National Planning Policy Framework 2021.
Minor updates to try and give more green space and access to views.
Planning inquiry finds in favour of the original decision. Permission to build is denied.
"A developer has revealed plans to build another 125 homes just over the road from a site where it hopes to build 90 houses, in a growing market town.
Gladman is drawing up a scheme to build an estate of 125 homes on fields to the west of Shenton Lane, to the south of Market Bosworth."
We have only 21 days from the date of notice to lodge our objection to the new proposal. 561 people objected to the previous proposal and it was refused. Unfortunately these objections will not count for this new application so please object again.
A 2 day event designed to give us, the residents of Market Bosworth, a say in and information on, the development, building and design of our Neighbourhood Plan. We should try to attend this event and show our support for this democratically produced document shaping our future.
Following the refusal of the original application, a NEW formal Planning Application has been lodged with Hinckley and Bosworth Borough Council for a development of 90 new houses in the field next to the cemetery, going right up to the Gated Road. Again, from Gladman and very similar to the last application.
WE HAVE ONLY 21 DAYS TO RESPOND AND OBJECT. PREVIOUS OBJECTIONS WILL NOT STAND.
Planning permission refused by Hinckley and Bosworth Borough Council.
It is likely that there will be further stages to this application. This is the first hurdle Gladman have to pass - or reattempt.
Notices of the Planning Application posted around the site.
Market Bosworth Parish Council issue the attached information document and circulate to residents.
Details of their Planning Application (https://pa.hinckley-bosworth.gov.uk/…/applicationDetails.do…) sent for approval.
Although Gladman have clearly been planning this for a while and whilst this matter will be decided on planning merit, submitting it now during a national health emergency means it will be more difficult for the community to engage in the planning process. We invite the people of Market Bosworth to draw their own conclusions as to whether this could be a cynical move by a company to take advantage of this situation.
