The planned demolition of a house so it can be replaced by new homes and shops is expected to be greenlit despite significant opposition. The plan to demolish the existing house and outbuildings on Main Street, Calverton and redevelop the site with three retail units and eight apartments has been recommended for approval at Gedling Borough Council's planning committee on July 28.
The site is currently occupied by a single vacant home with a roughly L shaped footprint to the east of the Grade II* listed St Wilfrids Church and the west of Calverton Library. The area is currently overgrown with a number of trees and vegetation on the site.
The project would be comprised of two different blocks. Block A, a two-storey development of two retail units at ground floor with two flats above would be located on the southern boundary of the site fronting Main Street.
