Plans to build 131 new homes on a former council depot site in Arnold have been recommended for approval.
Ilke Homes has put in planning permission to build the new properties on the brownfield land at Rolleston Drive.
The site had been left derelict and targeted by vandals, before a major fire in 2017 gutted what was left of the buildings.
The plans, if approved, would see the construction of two and three storey dwellings of modular construction comprising 45, two-bedroom, 73, three-bedroom and 13, four-bedroom properties of the following house types.
Insider Media are reporting that a council document published ahead of the planning committee meeting on April 12 is recommending approval is granted.
It said: “The principle of the development accords with the objectives of national and local planning policies.
“It is considered that the site could be used for residential development without causing undue harm to visual and residential amenity, highway safety, ecological interests or flooding.
“It is therefore considered that the granting of outline planning permission would fully accord with the objectives of the relevant planning policies.”
Good. We need to keep growing. Arnold our capital our London.
What cobblers, Arnold gets everything since GBC relocated from Carlton. It’s that simple. Your derelict land gets proper housing as above, 2/3 and 4 bed houses. Carlton gets ‘social housing’flats for the druggies, Alcoholics, bone idle misfits. Carlton Square development gets slashed from £700k to £300k, where’s the £400k gone? 3 years ago they left us derelict sites whilst Arnold get £4 million on a market that gets started straight away. Your full of biased nimby councillors, that’s Arnold.
