Where do you think new homes should be built?
Council chiefs have decided to scrap controversial plans to use greenbelt land for new houses in Stoke Bardolph. Gedling Borough Council leader Councillor John Clarke, deputy leader Cllr Michael Payne and Cllr Jenny Hollingsworth, cabinet member for growth and regeneration, decided in a cabinet meeting not to push ahead with the proposals.
They added: "The Government’s targets mean sites such as green belt land to the east of Teal Close in Stoke Bardolph were put at risk for future housing development. We share residents’ concerns about compulsory housing targets set by central Government that do not take account of local views and local circumstances.
"The flora and fauna of the beautiful Stoke Bardolph is protected for future generations and we’d like to thank everyone who campaigned with us. It shows that political pressure, with an election around the corner, can really make a real difference. He said: "It's greenbelt land - we are surrounded by fields and I quite like it that way. If they built all the way down to that field there we will be joined to Nottingham - there won't be any green space between Nottingham and us."
