Hope Cropwell Bishop can 'hold out' as hundreds of houses are built in nearby villages

Villagers say they hope their village will continue to "hold out" against more housing developments. Residents in Cropwell Bishop are hopeful they can avoid more housing being built there in the near future, in contrast to the hundreds of homes planned in other villages nearby.

On Church Street, Cropwell Bishop, 85 homes are currently being built, in what villagers have labelled the largest housebuilding project in decades. But nearby villages like Radcliffe-on-Trent and Cotgrave have seen plans progress for hundreds of houses to be built, with some even expressing the opinion that their village was becoming a town.

Local resident say they hope the village would not be a target for more new housing. Mandy Warwick, 44, who has lived in the village for 22 years, thought Cropwell Bishop was 'holding out' unlike other villages.
