Plans for 110 new homes as part of the £100m Trent Basin development in Nottingham have been approved. Proposals for the homes, submitted by developer Blueprint, were passed with one vote against at a Nottingham City Council planning committee meeting on April 19.
The latest site is a nine-acre plot of former industrial land, which surrounds Trent Basin on the north bank of the River Trent and sits to the west of Trent Lane. The homes will be built next to service company Veolia which currently operates a waste management facility on Freeth Street.
The developer said there is a focus on sustainable travel for residents, but Chair of the committee Cllr Michael Edwards (Lab) said the applicant is “not even close to getting a commercial bus service” for the area. Cllr Sally Longford (Lab) added she was “underwhelmed” by the plans and questioned why the only green space provision was a “pocket park”.
