New country park underway as plans for 64 homes at former Nottinghamshire ski slope progress

A scheme to build a new country park and homes on a former Nottinghamshire ski slope is progressing. More plans have been submitted for a 64-home development at the former Cossall Colliery spoil heap, between the village of Cossall and Ilkeston.

A hybrid planning application, which sought outline permission for 64 properties and full permission to create a country park, was granted conditional permission in 2021. The area last saw use in 1990 when part of the site became a dry ski slope, but this closed two years later.

A new application, which details the reserved matters of the housing such as appearance and layout, has now been sent to Broxtowe Borough Council. In an update, those behind the plans said little had changed, apart from all of the homes now being designed to have Grade-A energy efficiency ratings.
