Plans to build 157 new homes on agricultural land in Arnold have been submitted to Gedling Borough Council.
The proposals have been submitted by Barwood Homes Ltd, who are based in Northamptonshire, and ask for permission to build the new dwellings and also create a public open space and appropriate landscaping on the land next to the A60 in Redhill.
The land is currently in use for agricultural purposes.
The site will consist of a mix of private housing, low-cost homes and social houses.
Plans for the land were originally discussed with the council back in 2019 but they were critical of the proposals. In the recent application, the developers said that these concerns have now been addressed. They wrote: “The officer was critical of aspects of the layout, housing mix and density. We have sought to address these matters in the resubmission by introducing more variety to the mix and reducing the overall quantum of houses proposed.”
The plans have now been submitted to the council and will be presented to the Planning Committee for approval.
Just like that. Amazing. You try getting permission to build on agricultural land. Not a prayer. Greasing someone’s palm here.
