Neighbours have voiced worries about new housing in a Nottinghamshire area where 'they keep building and building'. The existing Nottinghamshire Fire and Rescue Service headquarters on Bestwood Lodge Drive, near Arnold will be demolished to make way for 32 homes, if councillors follow the recommendation to grant permission for the project at Gedling Borough Council's planning committee on September 7.
The site has been occupied by Nottinghamshire Fire and Rescue Service and is occupied by a number of two storey buildings. The fire service is relocating to the new joint Fire and Police headquarters at Sherwood Lodge with the move expected to be completed by the end of November 2022.
If approved the new homes would take the form of four different blocks after the demolition of the current structures. Local residents said they were uncertain whether the plan would improve the area, expressing concerns about a lack of services.
