'It's growing too big without the amenities'
Families hope that new housing developments expanding a Nottinghamshire village could lead to a new supermarket. With hundreds of houses planned across various sites in the village, people in Calverton say they'd like to see more amenities as the population grows.
"I can see where people are coming from in terms of the doctor's and dentist's and that side of it. Other than that it’s just more places for people to live." "You have to wait 45 minutes and you are queuing out the door for prescriptions and that." He also said he'd like to see another supermarket - "like a small little Aldi or a Tesco".
The changes were proposed due to issues with a private right of way and because of “a previously unknown water pipe that runs through the eastern part of the site”. Council officers say the layout of the amended plans "broadly follows” the previous designs but some homes have now been shifted onto separate land.
He told the meeting: “The main change is the number of units. The house types would largely be the same as previously approved. In terms of the additional 12, that would result in three additional affordable housing units. That would be two additional rental properties, at four-bed units, and one shared ownership.
