Application details:

The principle of Residential and/or Care development of the site was supported by the Local Authority via a preapplication consultation process, which showed a proposed scheme of 42 residential dwellings. 

A copy of the submission document and Council response can be found on the data room.

The Council supports the principle of residential development, as the site is surrounded by residential development/applications to all sides except the West. The Council agreed that the site has a close relationship to Melton Mowbray and surrounding residential development.

The Council’s Conservation Officer does not object in principle to proposed development along the boundary of Sysonby Lodge’s listed curtilage and states that development would not negatively impact on the setting of Sysonby Lodge providing that the use of materials are sympathetic and align with the design code established for the neighbouring site (ref: 16/00926/OUT); scale of dwellings do not exceed the scale and ridge height of neighbouring site; and, careful landscaping avoids harm to the approach to Sysonby Lodge.
