Residents have spoken about their concerns over people moving into a huge new estate earlier than planned.
The go ahead was given on February 15 for 270 more houses to be moved into earlier than planned at the Fairham development near Clifton, which when finished will provide 3,000 homes.
But some locals are concerned that the decision to allow people to move into a total of 500 homes when completed, before improvements to the Mill Hill roundabout were complete, does not "sound like a sensible idea".
Ellis North, 27, who lives on the opposite side of the estate to Clifton and works at Queen's Medical Centre, said: "It doesn't sound like a sensible idea on the face of it if the roads aren't ready.
"But that being said I'm sure it's been considered and there's always shortages of housing so they probably want to move people in as soon as they can.
"I don't think that there's much of a traffic problem in Clifton at the moment, but over the whole estate there's a lot of houses going to built there so maybe it will create one.
"It sounds like a lot of houses to add if everything that was planned isn't ready."
The first homes on the site are expected to be available to live in from the spring of 2022.
The new neighbourhood when fully built will have one million square feet of employment space, a primary school, community and sports facilities and a neighbourhood centre.
As well as provision of a safe guarded route to allow for the possible future extension of the NET through the site and gypsy and traveller pitches.
Ian Archer, 62, who lives in Clifton and works as a car valet, said that he hoped that the increase in people allowed to move into the estate sooner would not "ruin the traffic" in the area.
"Traffic can be a big problem if the A453 gets closed off it would all have to go through there, twice the amount of houses sounds like it would make an impact.
"At the moment it seems to be running smoothly, so I hope when people don't move in it doesn't ruin the traffic if what was planned before isn't done.
Mr Archer, who works in Gotham, added that even know he drives past the site often for work he was unsure of its progress.
He added: "To be honest even though it's in construction I haven't seen much of it, everything that I can see looks very unfinished so I'm not sure how far along they are.
"I work in Gotham so wouldn't mind living there myself really.
"All I know is they are still building the roads and all I've seen other than that is the coming soon sign."
Chris O'Leary, 60, a postal worker from Clifton, said he hoped that transport links in the town were good enough to avoid any big problems as a result of more people moving in.
"I don't do a lot of driving myself but you'd have thought hopefully if the people moving in use the tram stop that's right next to it, that can take you into town and into the city - there's no need to really drive everywhere.
"It's a bit out of the way from Clifton or anywhere else, so I think there would only really be a problem for the people living there really.
"I suppose it could have an affect on the A453, but I think that's pretty notorious anyway."
In a council report, a representative for Rushcliffe Borough Council, said: The amendment sought is not considered to have a significant impact on the highway safety of the strategic road network i.e. the A453, the local road network or the tram (NET), as confirmed by the relevant authorities.
"Whilst the additional 270 dwellings that could be occupied prior to the improvements to Mill Hill being assessed (and phase 1 improvements constructed and opened to traffic) may be a 90% increase on the 300 occupations currently permitted, the increase is only a 9% of the overall approved quantum of development (3,000 dwellings).
"Therefore, officers are content, that when looking at the overall quantum of development and the lack of technical objections, the proposal is not materially different to the current 300 occupations limited by condition 25 of the outline planning permission."
