Plans revealed to develop over 550 new Nottinghamshire homes

Plans for over 550 homes over two Nottinghamshire sites are set to go out to public consultation.

Nottinghamshire County Council is proposing to bring forward planning applications for approximately 235 new homes on land south of Cauldwell Road, Berry Hill, Mansfield, and approximately 320 new homes on land east of Sutton Parkway, Kirkby-in-Ashfield.

Both sites are owned by the Council, which has been secured from Homes England as part of the Local Authority Accelerated Construction Fund to help bring these sites forward for development and provide the necessary infrastructure.

Councillor Keith Girling, chair of Nottinghamshire County Council’s Economic Development and Asset Management Committee, said: “I’m pleased that we are bringing forward these proposals, which will mean hundreds of much-needed new homes for the local area. We are keen to hear everyone’s views before we finalise our plans, and I would encourage anyone who wants to share their thoughts on this to take part in the residents’ meetings or give us their feedback by using the project websites.

“These proposals are just part of our plans for building new communities and growing our county’s economy, making Nottinghamshire a better place to live as we emerge from the pandemic. This includes the nearby development at Lindhurst which will provide 1,700 new properties, including 170 affordable homes.”
