A variety of major Nottinghamshire plans came to light last week. Stories in the week ending December 16 covered a wide range of changes including a new supermarket, the possible closure of a pub, and housing estates being recommended to be built and elsewhere being rejected.
Documents showed new council homes in Nottingham were set for the green light, and in north Nottinghamshire a pub landlord warned a new retail park could put him out of business. Meanwhile, plans for a 22-storey tower, which would be one of Nottingham's tallest buildings, were scaled back for the moment.
Elsewhere, planning officers recommended Lidl be given permission for a new store in Bestwood. In Eastwood, campaigners celebrated the rejection of more than 200 homes next to a 'toxic' waste tip, and their council leader called for a public inquiry into the site's 'scary' past.
