A vast estate where hundreds of homes have already been built is set to almost double in size just as a major £49m road project has opened. Around 500 new homes have already been built at the Chase Farm development off Arnold Lane in Gedling, with residents labelling the new settlement a 'lovely place to live'.
Plans for the erection of 433 more houses at the site will soon be decided on, directly after the nearby Colliery Way access road (formerly Gedling Access Road) opened to the public on March 22. These plans will be decided on at the next Gedling Borough Council planning committee, on March 30.
When the major house building project has finished there will be shops, a medical centre, and a new primary school, as well as public spaces like local parks. People who had already moved into the estate have said that life was "lovely".
