Hundreds of homes could be built on the site
Villagers have raised concerns over hundreds of planned homes 'swamping' strained local services. An initial stage screening opinion application has been submitted for up to 230 new homes to be built off Beck Lane, Skegby, where hundreds of homes are already planned despite concerns over the village's infrastructure.
"This new plan will roughly double the size of the impingement on the roads, doctors, and schools [when compared to the approved plans ]. The area really needs some other development other than just housing, to serve the community and for it to be sustainable. You get queues now at certain times of day from the Fox and Crown all the way down to the Co-op, and that's without any additional traffic.
Councillor Helen-Ann Smith, who represents Sutton North on Nottinghamshire County Council, said: "One thing I will be very clear about is that we have a massive lack of infrastructure in the area to cope with that demand of housing. That is going to be a problem.
