A public consultation has been launched over plans to build hundreds of new homes using land on the Arnold and Mapperley border.
Three plots have been identified for the new homes, which includes land at Brookfields Garden Centre in Mapperley, a field in Killisick Lane in Arnold and a plot between Mapperley Plains and Howbeck Road.
203 homes will be built on the plot between Mapperley Plains and Howbeck Road, with 62 of these being low-cost homes.
90 homes are planned for land which was being used by occupied by Brookfields; 31 of these will be low-cost homes.
230 homes and 43 low-cost properties have been earmarked for land on Killisick Lane.
People are now being invited to comment on the draft development brief which covers these sites and is now available for viewing.
This document sets out how interconnected issues associated with these sites (such as the provision of a new primary school, drainage issues and the provision of open space) should be addressed to ensure the sites are developed in a sustainable manner.
But people are being reminded that the consultation is being held to gather opinions around the nature of the development and not the use of the land itself, as this has already been earmarked for housing.
A spokesman for Gedling Borough Council said: “We would welcome your comments on the draft development brief. Please note the principle of development has already been agreed and so comments relating to this will not be considered.
Those wanting to find out more can attend a drop-in session at The Beacon on Birchfield Road, Arnold (NG5 8BY) on Monday, September 10 between 3pm and 7pm.
The draft document can be viewed online HERE or viewed at the Civic Centre in Arnot Hill Park, or at Arnold Library in Front Street.
People have until Friday, September 28 to comment on the proposals.
This can be done via email to planningpolicy@gedling.gov.uk or by post to Planning Policy, Civic Centre, Arnot Hill Park, Arnold, Nottingham, NG5 6LU.
