Approval has been given for hundreds of homes to be added to a 'new community' in Nottinghamshire. Up to 400 houses can now be built on land off Abbott Road, Mansfield, after Mansfield District Council's planning committee gave its approval on March 13.
While phase one of the housing development is well underway with 202 properties nearly complete, the plans recently considered by councillors will increase the number of homes in the remaining phases by 170.
At the meeting, Michael Hepburn of planning consultant Lichfields, acting on behalf of applicant Commercial Estates Projects Limited & Hallam Land Management, said: "Our planning team has worked with [Mansfield District Council] officers to ensure that we've arrived at the very best scheme in Penniment Farm, significantly contributing to sustainable growth in Mansfield.
