More than 200 homes are set to be built in a Nottinghamshire area which has "very low" housing levels. A new 235-home estate will be built off Cauldwell Road, on the border of Sutton-in-Ashfield and Mansfield, if councillors on Ashfield District Council's planning committee follow a recommendation to approve the plans on March 22.
Nottinghamshire County Council has put forward the outline planning permission for the residential development, with it to be progressed at a later date with the input of a housing developer. The proposed new development is located close to the southern edge of the residential development at Berry Hill, Mansfield, which will provide 1,700 homes when finished.
Architects working on behalf of the county council have said proposed housing would "directly and positively connect with these areas". A planning committee report concluded the level of development was "considered appropriate for the size of site", but some concerns and drawbacks of the proposals were highlighted by planning officers and other consultees.
