Newark and Sherwood District Council rejects plans for 87-home development on Lord Hawke Way and Bowbridge Road

A council has yet again rejected a planning application for 87 homes resubmitted by its own development company.

The plan, proposed by Arkwood for a site on Lord Hawke Way and Bowbridge Road, Newark, was said to still be a highways and parking concern, despite changes made since it was last refused.

Newark and Sherwood District Council’s planning committee was told only an extra three carparking spaces had been made available and members repeated criticism that, if the build went ahead, additional traffic would pose a serious highways risk.
