Neighbours at the large Rivendell housing estate off the A612 Colwick Loop Road have shared their disappointment after plans for a much-anticipated pub were scrapped, with new proposals recently drawn up for a fast food drive-thru instead. With the housing estate located on land between Netherfield and Stoke Bardolph, near the Victoria Retail Park, local residents on the estate have clamoured for a pub, saying there were none within walking distance of their homes.
Building work has been taking place for several years at the estate, and, despite planning permission passed for a pub on part of the site, new planning documents revealed no end user came forward to agree to operate such a facility. These details were disclosed in a new planning application for a Popeyes Louisiana Chicken drive-thru restaurant near the junction of Magenta Way and Colwick Loop Road, at the entrance to the development.
