Neighbours have criticised plans to demolish a historic village home to build shops and apartments as "disgusting". 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 vegetation and trees.
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. Block B, a three-storey development of one retail unit at ground floor and six flats above, would be located adjacent to the northern boundary of the site, with the area between the blocks utilised as 13 car parking spaces.
