Nottinghamshire covers the city of Nottingham and suburbs such as Arnold, West Bridgford and Hucknall, the former mining towns of Mansfield, Sutton-in-Ashfield and Kirkby-in-Ashfield, and Worksop, Retford and Newark-on-Trent. Green Belt surrounds the Nottingham conurbation, while the north of the county, around Worksop and Retford, has none. Typical sites include former colliery and industrial land, edge-of-town fields, farm buildings and infill plots in villages.
Checks we make on infill plots in Mansfield
Neighbours' amenity
Overlooking, loss of light and outlook are the issues planners weigh most often.
Parking and access
A safe access and enough parking can decide small schemes.

Connections for drainage, water and power need to be reachable.
In England, the revised National Planning Policy Framework published on 17 August 2026 replaced the old "tilted balance" with new settlement policies: development within a settlement should normally be approved unless the harm substantially outweighs the benefits, while land outside a settlement can gain support in defined circumstances.
Though we are based in Birmingham (roughly 50 miles away), distance is no barrier: we look at land across England and Wales.

Often, yes. We make sure access, boundaries and services are set out so your own home is protected.
