Planning approved for new homes in Gedling
Councillors have granted planning permission for a 120-home development close to the Colwick Loop Road in Gedling.
Gedling Borough Council discussed the planning application on Wednesday, October 13, and decided it should go ahead.
The development would be based to the south of Burton Road, across from the playing fields of Carlton le Willows Academy, while its eastern boundary would border the busy link road.
The scheme is being submitted in its reserved matters stage after councillors previously approved outline permission for the development in January 2021.
The proposals debated by councillors involved the development’s layout, scale, landscaping and appearance.
The majority of existing trees and hedgerows are expected to be retained, with more trees and hedges planted.
The overall development proposes a range of two, three and four-bedroom terraced, semi-detached and detached houses, including two wheelchair-accessible bungalows.
Up to 24 will be affordable homes.
Ten letters of objection were sent to Gedling Borough Council in response to the plans, all from neighbours on existing streets such as Linden Grove.
Concerns have been raised about the loss of greenbelt land, the impact of this development and the ongoing Gedling Access Road works, its impact on ecology, traffic and potential flooding
