A builder is looking to demolish his inherited family home as part of plans to develop four new 'bespoke' properties on a site near Gedling Access Road. Mr J Gratton-Fisher, who owns a local building company, has submitted plans to build four new homes in Mapperley Plains.
According to planning documents submitted to Gedling Borough Council, the current property was Mr Gratton-Fisher’s childhood home and was occupied by his father until he died in 2021. The dormer bungalow will have to be demolished to make way for the development, which the applicant says will help the council meet its housing targets.
“Mr Gratton-Fisher, together with his sister Jill, have now inherited the property, and rather than simply putting the house on the market, Mr Gratton-Fisher wishes to redevelop the site himself to provide a number of high-quality bespoke dwellings,” planning documents say.
