Neighbours have shared their worries over a plan for more than 100 new homes next to a school field in Bilborough. A 130-home development would be built on alongside playing fields next to Westbury School on St Martins Road, if new plans are approved by Nottingham City Council.
A dedicated and direct vehicular access from Chingford Road would be created by demolishing four houses, according to planning documents. A total of 26 (20 percent of the development) of the homes would be classed as 'affordable' properties.
Locals questioned whether the development was wanted by those living nearby. Len Keeling, 83, a retiree from Bilborough, said: "I don't think the plans will be welcomed a lot. I don't think the new housing development will help the sense of community in the area."
