Several sites could be expanded
Locations for thousands of new homes are being considered in a fresh plan covering four Nottinghamshire councils. A joint plan between Nottingham City Council, Gedling Borough Council, Broxtowe Borough Council and Rushcliffe Borough Councils is exploring whether to allocate areas for 2,000 homes.
The plans detail the 4.65 hectares of residential space would accompany retail, leisure, the Central Library and cultural facilities with greenspace - much of which has already been outlined. The site's transport access to public transport is described as 'outstanding'. Portfolio holder for leisure, culture and planning, Councillor Pavlos Kotsonis, said: “We are working with neighbouring authorities to bring forward a plan which among other things aims to meet housing needs. The exciting vision for a reimagined Greater Broad Marsh provides the opportunity for a mixture of uses in the area, enabling people to live near Nottingham Castle and work by Nottingham’s new Green Heart.
The proposed extension to the allocation is in Flood Zone 2 and will need to be developed in accordance with advice from the Environment Agency. The potential impact on the adjoining ecology park and nearby Local Nature Reserve will also need to be considered, according to planning documents. Councillor Jenny Hollingsworth, portfolio holder for sustainable growth and economy on Gedling Borough Council, said: “Government has set a housing target for at least 7,950 homes to be built in Gedling Borough by 2038. The Greater Nottingham Strategic Plan sets out the strategy and approach for where these houses will be built.
