More than 100 'much-needed' family homes will be built on Nottingham playing fields. A 130-home development will be built on playing fields next to Westbury School on St Martins Road, Bilborough, after Nottingham City Council's planning committee followed a recommendation to approve the scheme on April 19.
The site is currently owned by the City Council, pending sale to applicant Strata, and was allocated for housing development in 2020. The development would be made up of a mixture of terrace, semi-detached and detached properties with 26 properties being classed as affordable housing.
Claire Linley, head of planning at Strata, said: “We are delighted to have secured planning consent for our second scheme in this part of Nottingham. Marrons has really helped Strata to build strong working relationships with Nottingham City Council planning officers and their in-house urban design and highways teams. We can’t wait to get on site to start delivering these much-needed family homes.”
