Having had a quick scout through the planning site on harborough.gov.uk here’s what’s being planned (though not necessarily put into practice) in Market Harborough.

Firstly The White Lion pub has a planning application in to make a front entrance off the High Street, rather than side entrance it has now. This could mean a new pub will be there soon or maybe a retail outlet, although there’s no sign of a change of use application so it’s likely a pub or restaurant.

Talking of pubs and change of use, The Union Inn on Leicester Road has an application in to change it from pub to supervised boarding accommodation. This application has been made by Brooke College. It appears they’re wanting more rooms for their students.

An interesting application has been submitted by Outer Space, the fantastic garden store on St Mary’s Road, for a bridge over the River Welland to the decked rear of their store. They seem to wanting to capitalise on the footfall passing Sainsburys. I hope it gets planning, although I wonder what shenanigans will happen at night on or around it.

It appears, from an application, that Vanilla Recruitment are expanding and taking over the upper floor of their building on St Mary’s Road.

Well that wraps up what may be happening in and around Harborough. It’s good to see the town developing, long may it prosper.
