Council chiefs have decided to scrap controversial plans to use greenbelt land for new houses in Stoke Bardolph. Gedling Borough Council leader Councillor John Clarke, deputy leader Cllr Michael Payne and Cllr Jenny Hollingsworth, cabinet member for growth and regeneration, decided in a cabinet meeting not to push ahead with the proposals.
In a joint statement, the councillors confirmed that the greenbelt land to the east of Teal Close will no longer be consulted on for a housing development. They said: "We’ve listened to the views of the residents we serve in Stoke Bardolph, Teal Close, Burton Joyce and surrounding communities and decided to protect the greenbelt land to the east of Teal Close.
"We have removed this specific site from the public consultation on the Greater Nottingham Strategic Plan Preferred Approach. This specific site in Stoke Bardolph will not now be consulted on for a future housing allocation.
