Demolition project to make way for new homes -- all the latest Ashfield plans
A project to demolish two existing homes and build four new ones on the same plot features in the latest raft of planning applications received by Ashfield District Council.
The proposal has been submitted by Chris Fido for the two-bedroom properties at 235 and 237 Alfreton Road in Underwood.
According to planning papers, Mr Fido would like to knock down the houses on the land, which spans 1,175 square metres, and then self-build four detached homes, each of three bedrooms.
The development, described as “attractive”, would increase the number of bedrooms by eight, while the number of car parking spaces on the plot would rise from four to ten, with “ample space” too for cycle storage.
A planning statement has been submitted to the council by Mr Fido’s agent for the scheme, the Nottingham-based architectural company, Rick Cobham Design Ltd.
It says: “The site is semi-rural, with fields opposite, but it falls within a mixed residential and commercial area on Alfreton Road.
"The proposed development has been designed to complement the existing streetscape and architectural language of the area.
"Access to the site would be provided via the existing entrance on Alfreton Road, ensuring safe and convenient entry for pedestrians and vehicles. Soft landscaping would be introduced at the front and back of the properties.”
The statement concludes: "Mr Fido seeks to create a sensitive, inclusive and attractive development that positively contributes to the local area.”
The council’s planning officers are currently considering the proposal and hope to make a decision or recommendation by their deadline date of Tuesday, July 28.
