Plans for 62 affordable homes in a Nottinghamshire village have been approved despite initial concerns over road safety. The development on land south of Dale Lane in Blidworth will also include 134 parking spaces and a green space with a playground. The site's road system has been reworked to comply with Nottinghamshire County Council's requirements after it previously objected to plans based on highway safety.
The application was given the go-ahead by Newark and Sherwood District Council on Thursday. Reworked designs include a new and improved footpath to the south side of Dale Lane, better crossing points and new bus stop locations after residents raised concerns about increased traffic. According to the Local Democracy Reporting Service , the homes will be managed by Nottingham Community Housing Association and consist of one-bed bungalows, apartments and three-bed semi-detached homes.
More than 40 are set to be rented with the remaining number coming under shared ownership. Follow BBC Nottingham on Facebook , on X , or on Instagram . Send your story ideas to eastmidsnews@bbc.
