Villagers have been left divided after plans to create a new 4,000-home garden in village in Nottinghamshire were shelved. The Bassetlaw Garden Village development would have led to thousands of people eventually moving to the develop close to Ranby, near Retford.
But the plug was pulled after a key landowner pulled out days before an initial submission date of March 11, Lincolnshire Live reports. Bassetlaw District Council will resubmit a renewed version of its local plan, which will completely omit the 4,000-home village, by the end of April.
A public consultation will then last until June, when the plan will be sent to a government inspectorate. The development would have been situated next to the A1/A157, and residents of Ranby previously said they feared it would 'eat up' their scenic village.
