The final go-ahead could soon be given for nearly 300 homes to be built on top of the grounds of a demolished school. The site was historically occupied by Padstow School and forms partially cleared areas of buildings and former playing fields. If a plan is approved on April 20 by Nottingham City Council's planning committee, it would become 291 new homes.
The development would provide a mix of one, two, three and four bed properties and 75 of the new houses would be affordable units which would be transferred to Nottingham City Homes on completion. The centre of the site would be retained and improved as a green park area with a play area also provided for new residents.
The site is owned by Nottingham City Council and the sale of the land pending, according to planning documents. Developers Countryside will pay £1,911,255 to fund education services in the area and a request for a contribution of £329,853 has also been received from the Nottingham University Hospital NHS Trust in relation to the provision of health care.
