Gedling Borough Council has scrapped plans to sell off a popular dog walking spot after a consultation with local residents. Land off Killisick Lane, near the Hobbucks Nature Reserve, in Arnold had been allocated for housing in 2018.
It was part of a cross-party agreed local plan, with the council under pressure to meet national housing targets imposed by central government. The Conservative Party set out an ambition when elected in 2019 to deliver 300,000 new homes a year across the country.
But following a consultation, Gedling Borough Council says that the land off Killisick Lane now will not be sold. It follows the launch of a consultation which began in August.
