®Planning appeal decision
The Gate House, Bathley Lane, North Muskham, Newark, Nottinghamshire, NG23 6HR
Planning appeal 3333868 at The Gate House, Bathley Lane, North Muskham, Newark, Nottinghamshire, NG23 6HR (Newark & Sherwood District Council) was dismissed on 13 June 2024 by Inspector Pearce S, by written representations. The main issue, as the Inspector framed it: whether the appeal site would be a suitable location for the proposed development having regard to the development plan.
I wish to obtain planning permission for a plot of land so that this can be sold onto a family or others to build a property sympathetic to the area and surroundings. I do not wish to build on this land myself, so there are no architectural building drawings/plans detailing floor levels, dimensions, rooms etc. It is purely a plot of land that I wish to sell with planning. It would be preferable for a local family/person to buy the plot which would provide opportunities for young people to be able to afford housing to remain or return to the village if they wished to
