New plans to demolish runway and build 400 homes at Nottingham airport

A new planning application has been submitted for homes to be built at Nottingham City Airport in Tollerton. Developers, Vistry Homes applied to start the planning process last year, with the company at the time revealing an ambition to demolish the cafe and air traffic building at the airport, remove the runway and build up to 1,600 houses.

Rushcliffe Borough Council has confirmed an application for the "first phase" of a residential development on the site has now been submitted. The plan seeks approval for 400 houses, with access from Tollerton Lane. The partial demolition of the runway is also planned and outline planning permission is also sought for the broader phased residential development at Tollerton Airfield. Other plans forming part of the broader project include a primary school and sports pitches.The first planning application was submitted in December 2020 for housing, a primary school and a local centre.

Rushcliffe Borough Council's cabinet portfolio holder for planning and housing, Councillor Roger Upton said: "We are duty bound to validate the application if it is correct and cannot decline to do so, but the applicants are aware we cannot determine the application until the SPD is in place. We will formally consult technical consultees, ward members, the relevant parish councils and local residents, all of whom will have the chance to comment on the proposals.
