More new homes lined up for Skegby -- all the latest Ashfield plans
A project for one or two more new homes in Skegby features in the latest bundle of planning applications received by Ashfield District Council.
Skegby has been hit by plans for a number of housing developments in recent years, including one for Radfords Farm, a site of agricultural land spanning 11 acres, between Woodhouse Lane and Dawgates Lane.
Outline planning permission has been granted by the council for up to 90 homes there, plus associated landscaping and infrastructure.
And now an application has been submitted by Kim Horden for permission in principle to build a maximum of two dwellings on land adjoining Radfords Farm at The Bygones on Woodhouse Lane, a site spanning about 2,188 square metres.
The agent for the scheme, Grace Machin Planning and Property, of Nottingham, says the Radfords Farm approval “establishes that the immediate locality is suitable for substantial housing development”. Therefore The Bygones plan “should be considered in that context”.
A letter to the council says: “The site is located within open countryside. However, it is an established ‘brownfield’ (used) site.
"It comprises previously developed land containing existing buildings. This proposal is for the demolition of those buildings and the beneficial re-use of the land through a very limited and modest residential development”.
The council’s planning officers are currently considering the project and have set a deadline date of Sunday, October 25 for a decision or recommendation.
