Proposed Sites for in Excess of 400 Houses: This Extends to 2055 houses

The proposed sites for building in and around Radcliffe can be identified below. From the sheer scale of this proposal, if these proposed plans are approved as they stand by Rushcliffe Borough Council, Radcliffe on Trent will grow by almost a third in size. While the proposals state a 'minimum of 400 homes', the reality is far more extensive as detailed below.

The highlighted areas under proposal include plans to build 2055 houses. This is extraordinary when considering the already heavily congested A52, the over-subscribed primary schools and our health centres inability to cope with the demand placed upon it by the current residents of Radcliffe on Trent. These sites are detailed as follows.

Site A 72 houses: Bell's Field North of Grantham Way, East of Hudson Way
Site B 1000 houses: North of Grantham Road, East of Bell's Field
Site C 87 houses: The Paddocks, South of Nottingham Road
Site D 51 houses: by Groom's Cottage, Shelford Road, East of Clumber Drive
Site E 285 houses: North of Nottingham, by RSCPA
Site F 560 houses: land at Shelford Road Farm, adjacent to site D

Totalling 2055 houses. These proposed plans will completely change the nature of our village and close-knit community.

There are already plans agreed to develop 1000 houses in Bingham, a Tesco store in Bingham (Insert Ref: 10/01853/FUL) and 500 houses in Newton are due for approval in the immediate future (Insert Ref: 10/02105/OUT). What is important to recognise is that while these plans are already approved (or about to be approved in the case of the site at Newton) the full impact of these houses have not yet been felt on the local community, its transport links or health and leisure amenities.
