Nottinghamshire residents have warned new housing could destroy an important green buffer between hundreds of under-construction homes, if approved next week. Two parish councils have heavily opposed plans for 30 homes to be built on land off Marion Avenue, Hucknall, which Gedling Borough Council's planning committee has been advised to approve on Wednesday, March 27.
Papplewick Parish Council also raised concerns about road congestion and pressure on nearby green spaces. Linby Parish Council explained it had concerns that a number of trees had been removed from the site and argued there was no need for further building. Nottinghamshire County Council has asked for £157,524 from the developers to spend on education in the Hucknall area, as part of the financial contributions required to improve infrastructure and services locally. The applicant will also have to pay £7,700 towards bus stop improvements on Ethel Avenue.
