More than 150 homes are set to be built next to a Nottinghamshire village's crematorium. A 169-home estate will be constructed on land adjacent and north west of Bramcote Crematorium in Coventry Lane, Bramcote, if councillors agree with advice from planning officers and approve the project at Broxtowe Borough Council's planning committee on February 1.
The application consists of 51 affordable properties, with 17 shared ownership, and 34 classed as affordable rent. The site would have a mix of housing types, including terraces, semi-detached, detached, and bungalows.
A Section 106 Agreement was previously agreed, securing financial contributions from prospective developer Peter James Homes Ltd towards affordable housing, healthcare, education and transport. Existing access from Coventry Lane will be reconfigured with a new double island on Coventry Lane/Ilkeston Road and a reduction of the speed limit on Coventry Lane from 50mph to 40mph.
