More homes will be built in a new estate in a Nottinghamshire village. Rushcliffe Borough Council has approved plans to increase the size of the 185-home Lacefields development in Ruddington, off the A60 Loughborough Road.
Developer William Davis will now be able to build 24 more properties as part of the second phase of the estate. The land was released from the greenbelt when it was included in the council's local plan for new housing.
Locals welcomed the new homes, expressing a hope the future residents would fit into their friendly community. Bhavna Passon, 34, who moved to Ruddington from London, said: “As long as it stays as it is, the types of families and people moving in. There’s a few young couples, young families and young professionals.
