Development of 80 new homes in Southwell rejected by town councillors

A development that would bring 80 new homes to Southwell has been rejected by town councillors.

The re-submitted application for the land off Lower Kirklington Road was met with the same concerns it was previously rejected for, despite changes.

At a meeting of the full town council, members suggested improvements on the flood mitigation scheme, its impact on wildlife and the countryside, as well as access points to the Southwell trail.
