Visitors to a 'brilliant' Nottinghamshire marina have expressed their hopes a plan for new flats will not detract from the area's appeal. Plans have now been submitted for 29 apartments to be built at Beeston Marina, overlooking the scenic and popular site on the River Trent.
Beeston Marina Ltd previously distributed consultation leaflets to locals, asking for their opinions on the plan which would face Nottingham Canal. The initial proposal was strongly opposed by the Beeston Civic Society, which "wholly" objected to the "location, design, massing, type and density of the accommodation".
But people visiting the location gave the plans a more welcoming reception. Hazel Brooks, 75, who was walking her dog along the marina, said: "Getting the balance right is important, I do not mind as long as the rest of it stays the same."
