The director of the company that runs Nottingham City Airport said there are "a lot of hoops to get through, and that's if anything will be built" when asked about plans for 4,000 new homes off the A52. He also says he is "not confident" the airport will remain.
An outline planning application has already been submitted to Rushcliffe Borough Council for 2,250 homes and a primary school on land to the north of the village of Tollerton, land that forms part of the council's strategic housing allocation. Those plans, submitted by Taylor Wimpey and Barwood Land, also include a new local centre, retail shop and children's play areas.
People have previously spoken out over the potential loss of green space. The land, which is situated to the east of Gamston and north of Tollerton, was allocated in Rushcliffe Borough Council's Local Plan for 4,000 houses, employment space, new schools and other community facilities. Now developers have since tabled a plan for the first phase of the vast Gamston Fields neighbourhood, located off Tollerton Lane and the A52.
