Neighbours have shared their thoughts on the "exciting" future of a Nottingham suburb with plans now in for a new supermarket and more homes. Plans have recently been put forward for a new Lidl to open on the former Chronos Richardson plastics site off Arnold Road and Belconnen Road. A separate application has also been tabled for 62 new homes on the same plot.
The disused industrial site is located close to Nottingham City Hospital, north of Valley Road and south of the Bestwood Estate Community Centre, off Raymede Drive. Full planning permission is sought by housing developer MyPad for a range of one-, two-, three- and four-bedroom homes. Two separate planning applications have been submitted to the city council: one for the new supermarket and another for the new homes.
It adds to the hundreds of new homes that will be built at the old Padstow School site in Bestwood, after plans were approved on April 20. The developer, Countryside, now has the greenlight to start to build 291 properties, with 75 (25 percent) to be handed over to Nottingham City Homes to be used as council houses on the site between Southglade Road, Eastglade Road and Gainsford Crescent.
