People in Gamston, living by the green space by the A52 have welcome of the plans to build over 2,000 homes and a school. In January last year, plans were submitted to Rushcliffe Borough Council by developers Taylor Wimpey and Barwood Land to build 2,250 homes, a primary school, local centre, a hot food takeaway and shop.
The development would be expected to create 3,800 new jobs in the area. Homeowners in Gamston, neighbouring the fields, said they understand that people need housing, but a few have concerns over the development being built on the green space.
Pam Deacon says that there’s a bit of concern over the green space being built on. The 70 year old added: “It will have to improve - we need to improve the infrastructure. I don't know about that - not what we really want to have green space taken up. My head says it’s got to be done but my heart says don’t do it.”
