A number of landowners may be issued with compulsory purchase orders in a bid to get the Gedling Access Road scheme up and running next year.
The council say that 29 landowners with 70 individual pieces of land needed to build the road have been identified so far. 28 pieces of this land are already owned by the authorities.
Nottinghamshire County Council said they are now in talks with the other landowners about acquiring the remaining sections of land they need to construct the new road.
The Gedling Access Road will be a stretch of single carriageway linking up Burton Road to Mapperley Plains.
The council say the proposed road is needed to facilitate the Chase Farm colliery site development and allow development and regeneration in the local area to be progressed. It will also cut congestion in and around Gedling village.
Gary Wood, Environment and Highways Group Manager at the County Council said: “Nottinghamshire County Council has recently sent letters to landowners in the Gedling area with whom some of which, they are already talking to about sections of land that will need to be acquired to build the Gedling Access Road.
“There are currently 29 land owners covering over 70 individual pieces of land which have been identified, of which 28 pieces of land are already owned by the Council, the Homes and Communities Agency, Gedling Borough Council or are part of the public highway.
“This process is the start of enabling the new road to be built, which in turn will allow for essential regeneration and development in the area to take place.”
