Homes and new shops set to be built in village despite opposition

The planned demolition of a house so it can be replaced by new homes and shops is expected to be greenlit despite significant opposition. The plan to demolish the existing house and outbuildings on Main Street, Calverton and redevelop the site with three retail units and eight apartments has been recommended for approval at Gedling Borough Council's planning committee on July 28.

The project would be comprised of two different blocks. Block A, a two-storey development of two retail units at ground floor with two flats above would be located on the southern boundary of the site fronting Main Street.Block B, a three-storey development of one retail unit at ground floor and six flats above, would be located adjacent to the northern boundary of the site facing northwards towards St Wilfrid’s Square.

Calverton Parish Council has also opposed the demolition of the property on Main Street. "This is a property within the Conservation Area of historic interest being part of a long gone village community of stocking frame knitters within a rural farming village.

"Infrastructure is needed to be put in place before this application/build is to go ahead Where is the bus shelter to be relocated? Will the bus be able to pullover safely making it safe for vehicles passing by? The bus stop cannot move towards the zebra crossing and towards the church would bring it in conflict with funeral/wedding vehicles which will need to park in that area when there is an occasion happening.

So in other words points of view don't really matter the power of the fiver in the back pocket works louder.
