Residents have spoken about life in the expanding village that according to them has the potential to be the 'next West Bridgford'. There are currently around 1,000 homes planned for Radciffe-on-Trent, with the population of the 'pleasant' settlement set to rise to around 10,000.
Plans for 200 homes on land off Nottingham Road on the outskirts of Radcliffe-on-Trent were recently approved despite serious flooding concerns. This adds to the projects currently underway, such as the hundreds of homes set for land off Shelford Road where a primary school and health centre could be built, and another 280 homes at a 28-acre agricultural plot east of Hudson Way and north of the A52 Grantham Road.
Locals said that the area was a 'very pleasant' place to live but expressed some concern about the expansion of the village. One resident though said that the growth of the village had given it a lot of potential.
