Taylor Wimpey (UK) Ltd has plans for nearly 100 homes opposite Manvers Business Park, Cotgrave, approved by Rushcliffe Borough Council

Nearly 100 new homes will be built opposite a Cotgrave business park after an application over its appearance was approved by the council.

Applicant and developer Taylor Wimpey (UK) Ltd first had ‘outline’ permission granted for a 90-home development on land south of Hollygate Lane, Cotgrave, in December 2023.

The building of the homes can now move forward after the part of the application relating to scale, appearance and layout was approved by Rushcliffe Borough Council last Friday (December 6).

The site is farmland, with similar plots, reserved for development, either side.

The development will have a central road running through it with access from Hollygate Lane in the north and Colston Gate in the south- a new roundabout will be built on Hollygate lane for access to the north of the site.

The new homes will be between one to four-bed and mostly two storey, semi-detached or terraced with maisonettes and a bungalow included.

The development is close to two primary schools, a post office and other local businesses, and 250 metres from Cotgrave Shopping Centre.

A residential development of 45 homes by Manor Oak Homes to the west of the site has been granted outline permission, with another section of land to the east being progressed by Barratt David Wilson Homes.

The development sits opposite Manvers Business Park.

An existing public bridleway in the east that runs through the land will be retained to connect with the neighbouring residential development and improve access to Cotgrave County Park.

A play space will be situated in the north-east of the site and open space will be included in the south-west corner.

In line with the council’s requirements, nine homes will be available as affordable housing and will be spread throughout the site.
