Hundreds more houses could be coming to village where residents previously commented there was "too much" housebuilding. Outline permission for a new 200-home estate on Blidworth Lane, Rainworth was given by Mansfield District Council in July 2021, but now the details of the housing development will go to the council's planning committee on May 9.
People living in Rainworth have recently told Nottinghamshire Live these homes and the 95 more planned at Rufford Colliery Lane were "too much" for the village, which they argued had limited shops and services. Despite these concerns the plan is recommended to be granted permission at the next planning meeting.
As well as hundreds of properties, developers Barratt Homes have said their design "incorporates public open space and structural landscaping and will form the basis for a high quality residential development". According to planning documents there would also be a centrally located children’s play space and an ecological buffer to preserve wildlife.
