A Nottinghamshire man raised safety concerns as the greenlight was given to build a 250-home estate around his property. A total of 250 homes will be built on land off Shilo Way in Awsworth, after councillors followed a recommendation to approve the plan at Broxtowe Borough Council's planning committee on March 8.
The reserved matters application was first brought before the planning committee on February 1, but despite a recommendation to grant permission members deferred the decision. This was to seek amended plans that would reduce the impact on the occupier of a property referred to as 'The View', which will sit as an enclave within the housing development, surrounded by the new houses.
In response to the issues discussed at the previous committee, applicant Avant Homes amended the plans to create a larger separation between the back of new properties and The View. But Greg Stackhouse, who lives in the property which will be in the middle of the housing estate, still had concerns as he spoke before the planning committee.
