Another 150 new homes will be built on the major development at Hucknall ’s former Rolls-Royce site. Housebuilder Persimmon Homes lodged the plans to Ashfield District Council in August last year, asking to build dozens of homes on the former industrial land.
It said its plans will deliver “high-quality housing” with a “diverse range of new homes”. The plans form phase 5b of development at the Watnall Road land, with hundreds of homes and a new school already delivered in earlier phases.
Now the authority has given approval for the 150 homes as well as new access proposals for the parcel of properties. The developer had initially requested 152 homes but the number of homes has since been reduced to “achieve an acceptable design”.
