Residents have expressed concerns over the impact 250 new homes could have on their Nottinghamshire village. Avant Homes plans to build a £58m development of new homes on the 25 acre site off Shilo Way, Awsworth.
The new homes, which will be a mix of two to five bedrooms, will also have access from Newton Lane. However, villagers are concerned about the amount of traffic that could be created by the new development, as well as the strain on local resources, such as the school.
Builder, Kevin Buxton, 54, said: "The development is not such much an issue, I'm a builder so I know the importance of housing, but it's the access and everything that is going to be a major problem and its impact on the village. The access points to the development are going to be a problem, as all the traffic will be coming down here (Newton Lane) for two years.
