Fresh plans have been put forward for a previously rejected new 'village' on a closed golf course. The former Bramcote Hills Golf Course on Thoresby Road, Bramcote, could be transformed into nearly 100 retirement homes to form Bramcote Hills Retirement Village, if plans are approved by Broxtowe Borough Council.
The golf course ceased trading in 2008 and has remained unviable since, with it currently being fenced off private land. The site's prospective developers have said that at present it is a potential source of anti-social behaviour, explaining the buildings next to the old car park have been vandalised.
Previous versions of the reserved matters application for the project were rejected by Broxtowe Borough Council's planning committee on grounds that its scale and prominence would adversely affect the amenity of local residents. This decision was upheld by the Planning Inspectorate after the developer appealed.
