A planning firm has gained outline permission to build up to 120 homes on former green belt land in Gedling, Notts

Northern Trust Company has applied for the green light to put up homes on a 10-acre site off Burton Road, near the junction with Colwick Loop Road and the Gedling Access Road.

The site is owned by Midlands Land Portfolio Limited (MLPL) the property development arm of Severn Trent, with Northern Trust acting as their planning promotion partner.

To allow the development to happen, the site has been taken from being within the green belt to an allocation within the adopted Gedling Local Plan so that planning permission can be granted.

The planning application was submitted in December 2019 and considered at the planning committee in August 2020. Following several months of negotiations on the Section 106 Agreement, planning permission was granted on January 29, 2021.

I feel very strongly about this application.  Not only will this development put yet more strain on the existing infrastructure and local services (Dr's, schools, etc) the site has been STOLEN from the green belt.  If the boundaries can moved so easily now, what is to stop this happening again and again.  

I therefore call on Gedling Borough Council to reject these plans and leave our green belt green!

Thank you for your support
