A government planning inspector has allowed an appeal concerning an unauthorised traveller camp in Blaby, Leicestershire, allowing it to stay until 2029. According to reports, the site appeared over a Bank Holiday weekend and includes fences and gates. Residents had raised objections, describing the presence of the camp and its infrastructure as unacceptable. The inspector’s decision reportedly accepts the appeal on the grounds that removing the site would “take away a settled base” for the traveller household living there. The ruling means the camp will continue to operate under the terms of the permitted status until the end date set by the decision, rather than being removed immediately. The reports also say local concerns remain despite the inspector’s conclusion, reflecting the dispute between community objections to the camp’s arrival and the inspector’s reasoning about stability for the household involved. The decision is presented as a planning outcome following the appeal process rather than an immediate enforcement action.
