Former green belt land off Mapperley Plains could be transformed into a new 54-home estate.
Developer Cameron Homes is looking to build on an area of land off Mapperley Plains, to the rear of the Coppice Farmhouse.
If approved, the new estate would sit next to the the 164-home Alexandra Place development, which is being built by Davidsons Homes.
Outline planning for three homes at the nearby Coppice Farm Stables was also granted in 2022, and the developer says the new estate has been designed to fit “seamlessly” next to the two sites.
“The scheme has been designed to integrate to the existing residential
development to the north with a seamless design approach,” planning documents say.
“Access into the development has been taken from Shipley Close, which is within the adjacent residential development that is currently under construction. The vehicular access point for the application site is proposed from the existing Davidsons Homes development.”
Cameron Homes says the development will include a mix of two, three, four and five bedroom homes.
A total of 30 per cent will be classed as affordable, with 11 being used for social rent and five being used as first homes.
The two hectare greenfield site is just up the road from Gedling Country Park in Spring Lane.
It was formerly classed as green belt land, before being removed by Gedling Borough Council in its Local Planning Document (LPD).
Plans are now subject to approval from the authority.
“The proposal has resulted in creating a high quality design, with a desire to create a cohesive community with the Davidsons Homes development adjacent to the site,” the plans add.
“The design has taken into consideration the surrounding context and its contribution to the need for new homes in the area.
“The house types are designed to take traditional architectural cues from Arnold and Gedling respecting local character.
“With all of the above in mind, Cameron Homes have aimed to create a development which represents a high quality design and makes the best use of land whilst complying with respective policies.”
