Hundreds of homes are set to be built in a 'very desirable' Nottinghamshire village. A total of 250 homes would be built on land off Shilo Way in Awsworth, if councillors follow a recommendation to approve the plan at Broxtowe Borough Council's planning committee on March 8.
The reserved matters application was first brought before the planning committee on February 1, 2023 but despite a recommendation to grant permission members deferred the decision. This was to seek amended plans that would reduce the impact on the occupier of a property referred to as 'The View', which would sit as an enclave within the housing development, surrounded by the new houses.
In response to the issues discussed at the previous committee, applicant Avant Homes submitted amended the plans to create a larger separation between the back of new properties and The View, as well as providing enhanced landscaping. The housebuilder previously said the four-year project would create 120 jobs and that it would contribute £1.7m to support local education, public transport, and open green space maintenance.
