How schemes in Hinckley get decided.
Two councils involved
Hinckley and Bosworth Borough Council decides the planning application, but Leicestershire County Council is the highway authority and gives the highways response. We deal with both, so the evidence suits the county’s standards as well as the local plan.
What shapes schemes in Hinckley
A town on the A5 and M69, with large logistics sites along the motorway and a station on the Leicester to Birmingham line. In the centre, the questions are servicing, parking and how people walk to the shops and the station. On the edges, it’s access, visibility and the main junctions.
Roads, rail and buses
The main roads are the A5, A47 and M69. There’s a railway station, so the walking and cycling route to it counts for a lot in any application. Where a scheme adds traffic to the A5 and M69, National Highways needs to agree the evidence as well. We tell you early if yours does.
Questions we get asked
Who is the highway authority in Hinckley?
Leicestershire County Council, for local roads. Hinckley and Bosworth Borough Council decides the planning application and consults Leicestershire County Council on highways matters. We deal with both. National Highways is responsible for the A5 and M69.
Do you cover the area around Hinckley?
Yes, including Rugby, Coalville and Ashby-de-la-Zouch, and the villages and rural sites in between.
Will National Highways need to be involved?
Only if a scheme adds enough traffic to the A5 and M69 to matter. We check that at the start and, where it’s needed, agree the approach with them alongside the council.
