Enforcement action is being planned against the landowner of a Grade-II listed Victorian pumping station near Arnold after “illegal building works” were reported.
Bestwood Pumping Station, located to the north of the town on the A60, was built between 1871 and 1874 by Thomas Hawksley, an engineer for the Nottingham Waterworks Company.
It had sat empty since 2017 before the site was purchased in 2019 for £1.5m.
Millions of pounds were invested in the development, most recently called ‘Lakeside’, and it was used as a wedding venue and restaurant until its sudden closure around a year ago.
Bestwood Pumping Station was later known as The Lakeside Bar & RestaurantThe pumping station was designed by Arnold-born engineer Thomas Hawksley and constructed between 1871 and 1874
Now, according to documents published ahead of a Gedling Borough Council Planning Committee meeting on January 10, a series of unauthorised building works have been reported.
The pumping station, along with the park and garden which features a lake and fountain, are protected alongside the East Lodge.
The illegal building works identified on the site include the reduction in height and alteration of a brick wall attached to the East Lodge, the removal of listed gas lamps, the construction of a metal vent on the the pumping station building and the fixing of timber fencing.
Unauthorised advertisements had also been put up on Mansfield Road.
“The loss of the upper part of the boundary wall is considered harmful to the special architectural and historical interest of the listed building,” documents say.
The gas lamps were listed in 1987 and date back to 1871. They are individually protected.
“The loss of the gas lamps can be categorised as substantial harm since they are wholly removed from the site and listed in their own right,” documents add.
“The removal of the lamps is considered to have no public benefit at all.”
Other breaches include an extension to the car parking area, as well as the erection of staff, storage and food preparation units, a Santa’s Grotto building and a prosecco bar, barbecue and ice cream hut.
The Santa’s Grotto feature was advertised on Lakeside’s social media pages in 2022.
A listed building application was initially submitted to the council in August 2020, which sought permission for refurbishment works to the East Lodge and the reduction in height of the brick courtyard wall.
No listed building application was received for the removal of the gas lamps or their repositioning, the construction of a vent on the pumping station building or the timber fencing.
The listed building application was refused in March last year.
A retrospective planning application had been submitted in a bid to gain permission for some of the breaches of planning control, however this was also refused in March.
Permission was only granted for listed building consent for refurbishing the pumping station building.
Council documents add: “The landowner had a meeting with council officers in May 2023 to discuss the site and the unauthorised developments.
“The planning department informed the landowner that there were particular concerns regarding the reduction in height of the brick boundary wall and the removal of gas lamps and the relocation of other gas lamps on the site.
“The landowner said that the gas lamps removed have been kept on site. However, officers have not seen the removed gas lamps.”
At the meeting on January 10, councillors will seek to authorise all relevant planning enforcement action, including the service of any necessary enforcement notices and issue of proceedings through the courts.
This is to ensure the restoration of the listed buildings to their former condition, the removal of the unauthorised development and the removal of the unlawful advertisements.
The Local Democracy Reporting Service made attempts to contact Lakeside by email and telephone, however the phone line no longer works.
Modified plans which would make new 132 homes in Calverton more environmentally friendly are set to be approved.
The application for land off Park Road is part of a larger development of up to 365 homes previously approved for the north-west edge of the village.
The application redesigns the next phase in order to make it compliant with the government’s new ‘Future Homes’ standards.
The modified homes would be more energy efficient due to increased cavity wall insulation and solar panels on the roofs.

The rest of the application, including roads, housing sizes and layout will remain the same.
Access points will be created off Park Road and Collyer Road for the new estate.
The planning application was submitted by Persimmon Homes Nottingham last year.
The site currently vacant land that used to be agricultural, although development is currently underway for 72 other properties on the site.
Documents state: “The comprehensive vision for the site is to continue to deliver new high quality streets and spaces, which delivers a diverse and energy efficient range of new homes to blend seamlessly into the adjacent housing development.”
It promises to provide more green spaces and create a “sustainable place for people to live”.
The area is earmarked for expansion in the Calverton Neighbourhood Plan.
No comments have been received from local residents, according to Gedling Borough Council’s website.
The planning application doesn’t give details on the size of the homes, as these will be finalised in a future planning application.
The plans will go before Gedling Borough Council’s planning committee on Wednesday, January 10, where it is recommended for approval.
These are the latest applications to have been submitted to and validated byGedling Borough Council this week.

PICTURED: Aerial view of existing garages (Courtesy of Gedling Borough Council planning)
A Design and Access statement provided in support of a full planning application advises that the current use of the site is as 13 garages. However, as all the homes in the area have driveways and typically private garages or on street parking nor do they own the units the garages are mostly vacant or used as old storage for the applicant. They further suggest that the garages are detrimental to the surrounding area as they induce crime, unwelcome dwellers & reduce the value of the adjacent homes whilst being non-utilitarian, unattractive & ugly.
PICTURED: Proposed Site Location (Courtesy of Gedling Borough Council planning)
The Design and Access statement further advises that 2 of the dwellings will be bungalows and can be made suitable for elderly residents, if required. The other two units are split in the stepped terraced element at South-west side of the site. This will allow for the ridge heights to be matched or lower than the existing but still have an attractive appearance. The proposed plot sizes are as follows; Plot 1 – 72sqm – 2 Bed – 3 Persons, Plot 2 – 80sqm – 2 Bed – 3 Persons, Plot 3 – 50sqm – 2 Bed – 2 Persons and Plot 4 – 50sqm – 2 Bed – 2 Persons.

PICTURED: Proposed site location plan (Courtesy of Langridge Homes / Gedling Borough Council Planning)
A Design and Access statement prodvided in support of a full planning application advises that ‘Langridge Homes hereby wish to apply for the Stopping up Order to Calverton Footpaths 40 and 41, for reasons including but not limited to being reasonably justified under section 257 of the Town and Country Planning act 1990, where its states that :-
(1) Subject to section 259, a competent authority may by order authorise the stopping up or diversion of any footpath if they are satisfied that it is necessary to do so in order to enable development to be carried out—
(a) in accordance with planning permission granted under Part III, or
(b) by a government department.‘
PICTURED: Proposed site location plan (Courtesy of Langridge Homes / Gedling Borough Council Planning)
The Design and Access statement further refers to a history of issues regarding current footpaths that require ‘stopping up’ wherein they state ‘In July 2006 after the failed attempt by Calverton Parish Council to include the site in question as Village Green, in an attempt to prevent the development of the land, applications were made by way of a Modification Order to create FP40 and FP41 as public footpaths which was successfully achieved despite reasonable and understandable objection from Langridge Homes. The decision to include these as Footpaths rendered the site in question effectively undevelopable, directly in opposition of Section 257 of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990.’
PICTURED: Proposed streetscene (Courtesy of Langridge Homes / Gedling Borough Council Planning)
The Design and Access statement ends by stating ‘To enable the proposed development of the land (which has been approved on more than one occasion), FP40 and FP41 will need to be stopped up. Rejecting the stopping up would quite clearly, and solely be purely to hamper development, not to continue ways of access that exist today only in registration and not function.’
