Plans for an Ollerton care home for more than 100 people will go before councillors next week after concerns over parking.
The plan for part of the Sherwood Energy Village is recommended for approval by Newark and Sherwood District Council officers.
It would provide 105 en-suite bedrooms of various sizes off Darwin Drive, and create ten new jobs.
But Ollerton Town Council says the proposed 15 parking spaces would be “insufficient and inappropriate” for the number of visitors and staff.
Members of the town council voted unanimously to object to the plan.
However, Nottinghamshire County Council, the area’s highway authority, hasn’t raised any concerns over the amount of parking.
The plans originally included 30 supported living rooms in separate buildings which would form a self-contained ‘retirement village’.
These have been amended into 30 larger rooms within the main building, which would be two or three storeys.
The Sherwood Energy Village is built on the former Ollerton colliery, which closed in 1994, in a bid to regenerate the area.
The proposed site is currently a car park and scrubland. It was previously granted permission to become a health club or beauty salon, but this never materialised.
It would be located between business premises and housing projects, with another recently-approved retirement community nearby.
The is an outline, meaning the full details of the care complex will need to be approved at a later date if approval is given.
No other objections have been raised to the application.
The application will go before Newark and Sherwood District Council’s planning committee for a final decision on Thursday, May 9.
