A planning application has been submitted to create almost 20 caravan pitches in Nottinghamshire. The application was submitted on January 11, 2023 for the change of use to a piece of land at Chestnut Lodge on Barnby Road, Balderton.
It is being requested that the 1.21 hectare piece of land near Newark, which is currently being used as a residential and ancillary paddock, will be used to create 19 caravan pitches and a four-bedroom house. There are currently six car parking spaces at the site, but if permission is granted this will increase to 12 spaces.
According to the application, the pre-application advice given stated that Newark and Sherwood District Council had reviewed and approved the land for around 20 caravan pitches and a new dwelling. This is part of the council's plans to accommodate the future housing needs of Newark's gypsy and traveller population.
