Help us to reject proposed plans to build on Radcliffe on Trent's Greenbelt.

 

With 1000 houses recently green-lit by Rushcliffe Borough Council within neighbouring Bingham, and an additional 500 houses approved in Newton, members of the Radcliffe community have raised their concerns over the pressure upon village life and its community. The objections raised include:

 

Objections to the identification of Radcliffe on Trent's Green Belt land as a suitable place to build when existing brownfield has not been used.

 

The increased pressure on an already heavily congested A52 and the additional impact that the approved plans for 1000 houses in Bingham would have.

 

The same is the case of the 500 houses approved at Newton.

 

Further concerns were raised as we have not yet felt the impact of these new houses, upon the village as they have not been built yet.

 

The increased traffic through the village as a 'rat-run' as a result of the proposed roundabout at the top end of Shelford Road, instead of the suggested link road through to the A52.

 

Pressure on the village centre with a lack of adequate parking.

 

Concerns were raised over the already stretched capacities of Radcliffe on Trent Infant School and Radcliffe on Trent Junior School and the influx that a potential 2055 additional new homes would bring to the village community. 

 

Additional anxieties were raised over policing and the reduction of police presence in Radcliffe on Trent with the closure of the police station. 

 

Concern over the drastic decrease in property values for those Radcliffe residents who will be immediately impacted by the proposed developments. 

 

Concerns over the need to put traffic calming measures in place as Shelford Road is the only available route for children walking to and from the schools and parks in the village.Your voice is key to this. Indifference and inertia will result in a loss of our Greenbelt.
