The firm has refused to explain why it plans to restrict any further public access to the fields
The future of a stretch of open land between two Nottinghamshire villages remains unclear after it was sold to a housing developer who refused to explain why it now plans to restrict any further public access to it. The fields off Mount Pleasant, between Lowdham and Gonalston, are currently accessed by the public through rights of way including footpaths.
Based in Sherwood Rise, Nottingham, the company currently has developments in Ripley, Giltbrook, Calverton and Bestwood Village. The notices have caused some concern among nearby residents over a potential future housing development – although no development has been confirmed. Paul Harrison is chairman of Lowdham Parish Council, but said he wanted to give his opinion as an individual village resident. He said he’d spoken to a number of local people who are worried about the ‘landowner deposit’ notices.
“I think there is a great chance there would be a huge reaction to it and not in a positive way, the problem always everywhere is they’re not prepared to improve the infrastructure at the same time." Land Registry records list at least a portion of the land as belonging to Ross Mason and Grant Mason. Ross is named as a director of nearby Gonalston Farm Shop, which has remained closed since it was badly damaged by fire in September 2022.
