Seven letters of concern were written to Mansfield District Council about the plans for the new home  behind 27 West Bank Avenue.

A detached garage at the existing property will be demolished to make way for a new entrance to the new four-bedroom home.

Neighbours claimed the property, visually, would not be in keeping with the area, and would exacerbate highway safety issues.

However , councillors sitting on the committee during a recent meeting had no concerns about the plans and unanimously passed them, 10 votes to none.
