Anxious residents neighbouring a piece of overgrown former farmland have warned a plan for new homes could prove an 'inconvenience'. Plans to build nine new homes on the site of the former Colwick Manor Farm, in Colwick, have not been welcomed by some neighbours, who say the land should be left as it is.
A main house and long barn had previously been cleared and salvaged for reuse, leaving the land to become overgrown. The Manor Farm house had collapsed before being completely demolished, with its developers stating it had been in a "perilous" condition as a result of a storm a number of years ago.
Officials from CAMplan, a planning and design consultancy, said previous plans for 13 homes were rejected and ideas for "an old folks' home" had also knocked back in the past. They hope that this time the application, submitted to Gedling Borough Council for nine homes, can finally be successful.
