144 houses on about 7 hectares. |
Existing use

This is a disused park and former zoo site. |
| Advantages |
|
- The site develops under-used land, already surrounded by housing.
- Next the bus route and close to rail / tram access to Nottingham.
- Close to Hucknall by-pass and motorway links.
|
| Disadvantages |
|
- The site would take up one of the few remaining open areas on this
side of Hucknall.
- The land is all existing Green Belt.
- Only sustainable if the tram network is developed to stop
alongside the development.
- A long way from Hucknall shops or Bulwell shops.
- Leads to coalescence with Bulwell - urban sprawl.
