More than 800 homes, a hotel and new shops can now be built next to an 'attractive' Nottinghamshire village. Farmland at Pleasley Hill Farm, off Water Lane, near Pleasley can now be turned into 850 homes as well as a hotel, care home, and shops, after Mansfield District Council gave the plans approval on May 5.
The council's planning committee delegated the decision to the head of planning on July 4, 2022, leading to a nearly year long negotiation with applicant Helier over planning obligations and financial contributions towards infrastructure improvements. The site's care home will host 160 beds and there would also be a gym, nursery, an eight bay petrol station, and other shops.
If implemented the development would create 17,434 square metres of employment and business space. Some neighbours to the site on Kingfisher Road previously said they did not approve of the plans, citing the loss of the fields and green space.
