Sites with lapsed or refused planning we are looking for in West Bridgford
We read the planning history of sites across West Bridgford closely; a past refusal often points straight to the fix. Sitting about 2 miles south-east of Nottingham, West Bridgford is within Nottinghamshire, with Nottingham and Arnold close by.

- Plots where policy has changed since the last decision
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.
