Neighbours do not know how a small village road will be able to cope as plans for 20 new homes were approved in their community. Broxtowe Borough Council's planning committee gave the green light for the properties on land in Pinfold Road, Newthorpe, just north of Giltbrook, at a meeting on Wednesday, May 7.
The properties will be built on the land to the south of 50 Pinfold Road, which is currently overgrown. According to residents, the site was once home to a retirement horse, which was moved around one year ago.
While residents say the development does not bother them aesthetically, some have raised concerns about how the already busy narrow road will cope with increased traffic. Rebecca Gregory, a 42-year-old midwife said: "I'm concerned about the disruption that it's going to bring, especially during the building process.
