Twelve new houses to be built in St Ann’s

Windmill Lane [St Ann’s]

As part of its 10 year program to build new social houses around the City, Nottingham City Homes has submitted a planning application to build 12 new houses on vacant land off Walton Avenue.

12/03076/PFUL3

The application was submitted to the Development Department on 13th November.

The development site is located between St Ann’s to the North and Sneinton to the south, with Colwick to the east. It is a former garage and parking area. However the buildings have been demolished and the area grassed with a tarmac path running through the centre. Large boulders have been placed behind the back edge of the pavement to prevent vehicular access to the site.

The application is for the development of twelve two storey dwellings on behalf of Nottingham City Homes in partnership with Nottingham City Council. Two of these dwellings have two bedrooms and the remaining ones have three bedrooms.

There is a public footpath to each side of the site, providing access between Windmill Lane and Walton Avenue. These are to be retained and the presence of the new dwellings will provide enhanced surveillance of the paths from the new dwellings.

Consultations with local residents have already begun, and the closing date for objections or comments is expected to be 15th December 2012.
