Yesterday we received the Inspector's decision following the online Public Inquiy in November (see below). Regrettably the Inspector dismissed the appeal due to the effect of the development on the character and appearance of the area. However, he did overturn the two highways reasons for refusal. The Council put up three highways witnesses, and a local resident spoke against the scheme on highways grounds; however, the Inspector agreed with Entran that the cumulative residual effect of development would have no adverse effects on highway safety or capacity.  

I'm sure we will all be glad to see the back of 2020, but looking for some positives, we were really pleased to help ALDI open eight new stores in the South-West and Wales this year, and secure planning permission for a further twelve.

We always end the year with a big thank you to all our clients and associates and wish them a prosperous New Year. Never has that been more appropriate than 2020. We, like many others, were swift to adapt to this year's new challenges so we were able to ensure business continuity across all our disciplines. Unfortunately, we were not able to celebrate our 15th anniversary in the ways we had intended, so let's hope we get to celebrate our 'sweet sixteen' with you all instead in 2021 !

Ipswich Borough Council voted unanimously today to grant planning permission for Plutus's proposed development of 173 new homes with A1-A5 commercial units on land adjacent to the River Orwell in Ipswich town centre. Entran worked with Mountford Piggott architects and Iceni planning to secure positive recommendations on transport, air quality and noise. The scheme includes a new footway/cycleway to provide the missing link between the station and the marina area.
