Up to 235 homes near step forward

An application proposing the development of up to 235 homes in Mansfield looks set to take another step forward.Arc Partnership is seeking outline planning permission on behalf of Nottinghamshire County Council to develop land at Cauldwell Road.The site comprises approximately 25.6 acres of agricultural land located on the urban fringe of Mansfield, to the north of Sherwood Way South and south of Vision West.The majority of the site lies within the district of Ashfield, with a small area to the north-east of the application site being located within the district of Mansfield.Proposals were presented to Ashfield District Councils planning committee on March 2023, where a resolution was made to grant planning permission, subject to conditions and a Section 106 agreement.Mansfield District Council’s planning committee will now consider the application on 12 June.A report for the committee said: “The provision of new homes carries substantial weight in favour of granting planning permission.”It would boost the supply of housing in accordance with the NPPF, contributing up to 235 new homes across the wider site, including affordable homes. It would bring about additional housing choice and competition in the housing market.”
