Vistry Homes, the landowner and developer behind plans for homes on Tollerton Airfield have served notice on operators Truman Aviation.
Brian Wells, owner of Truman Aviation has confirmed to The Wire that three months notice was served by letter today 4 March 2025. The date of closure is 6 June 2025.
An arrangement between Lincs Notts Air Ambulance and the developer to continue its operation during the ‘initial phase’ has been agreed.
A spokesperson for Vistry told The Wire:
“With the site having been allocated for development a decade ago, we are keen to progress our plans and commence construction of the new homes, subject to planning permission.
“Vistry is working closely with Lincolnshire and Nottinghamshire Air Ambulance about the redevelopment of Tollerton Airfield. We have agreed to work together to maintain a safe landing site which will ensure that the current air ambulance service can continue during the initial phase of development.”
“Vistry’s site forms part of the wider allocation which ensures that infrastructure is delivered alongside the new homes providing new schools, sports facilities, green spaces, employment land and community facilities. We estimate that some 500 direct and indirect jobs will be created during the construction stage of Vistry’s application, and once the full site allocation is completed some 1,450 jobs are expected to be created.”
The spokesperson continued, “We have worked closely with the Council on this comprehensive development and have consulted widely with the local community. We look forward to making further progress on these plans and providing Rushcliffe residents with much needed new and affordable homes and employment opportunities.”
