Rushcliffe Borough Council (RBC) is inviting residents to share their views on planning guidance for a development at the east of Gamston and north of Tollerton site, that includes Tollerton Airfield, in a five-week consultation.
In 2014, as part of RBC’s Local Plan, the authority allocated the land for 4,000 new homes, employment space and necessary supporting infrastructure, including new schools and other community facilities.
The draft guidance, also known as a Supplementary Planning Document (SPD), includes detailed requirements for the different types of development on site, how people will access and move around the site, and the core facilities that will be needed.
The SPD will include a masterplan to ensure delivery of necessary site-wide infrastructure and sets out the specific requirements of RBC, the local highway authority, the local education authority and health providers, to ensure those submitting applications are informed about the requirements from the outset.
As part of the consultation, RBC is hosting an in-person event at Gamston Community Hall in West Bridgford NG2 6PS on Wednesday October 22 from 3pm to 8pm for residents to speak to officers, find out more about the SPD, and share their views on the draft planning guidance.

A Rushcliffe Borough Council spokesperson said: “We’re encouraging residents to have their say in our newly launched consultation to help shape this vital framework and masterplan for the site to the east of Gamston and north of Tollerton.
“We’re also hosting an in-person consultation so please do come along if you have any questions or wish to share your views on the SPD.
“This detailed planning guidance, including the site-wide masterplan, should be put in place for the site’s development and will set out what development we expect to see on the different parts of the site, and what supporting infrastructure is required, where and when.
“All proposals to develop the whole or parts of the site will be expected in full to follow this guidance and masterplan before any planning permissions can be considered for housing development on the site.”
