Neighbours feel it could diminish the standard of living for residents, cause increased traffic on country lanes and lead to a loss of privacy and light pollution in the area
Residents in a Nottinghamshire village say they are frustrated as a proposed traveller site was tipped for approval despite 60 objections. Plans were submitted earlier this year for a new residential caravans site at Chestnut Lodge, Balderton, which would have a total of 21 pitches and the construction of a five-bedroom home for the site manager.
Council documents also state "the net addition of 20 pitches proposed would contribute directly and indirectly to the significant unmet need of the Council’s five-year land supply and identified Gypsy and Traveller need over the plan period. This pitch contribution carries significant positive weight in favour of the proposal."The council has also been considering other sites, such as as near Belvoir Iron Works and Winthorpe Road in Newark, to help create additional pitches.
However, residents in Balderton have expressed fears over the site and feel that it could diminish the standard of living for local residents, cause increased traffic on country lanes and lead to a loss of privacy and light pollution in the area. A 37 year old health and social worker said: "Obviously it's a worry and we only bought the house a few years ago here because it's quiet and out of the way and we have a nice view out of our window.
She explained that she also has concerns about how close the site is to Barnby Road School, which already causes problems on the roads with dozens of cars in the morning and at pick up times. The mum added: "I get that there has to be spaces for them to live and nobody wants them on their doorstep but I think in front of a primary school is not the right place."
