Modified plans which would make 132 homes more environmentally-friendly are set to be approved.
The application for land off Park Road is part of a larger development of up to 365 homes previously approved for the north-west edge of the village.
The application redesigns the next phase in order to make it compliant with the government’s new ‘Future Homes’ standards.
The modified homes would be more energy efficient due to increased cavity wall insulation and solar panels on the roofs.
The rest of the application, including roads, housing sizes and layout will remain the same.
Access points will be created off Park Road and Collyer Road for the new estate.
The planning application was submitted by Persimmon Homes Nottingham last year.
The site currently vacant land that used to be agricultural, although development is currently underway for 72 other properties on the site.
Documents state: “The comprehensive vision for the site is to continue to deliver new high quality streets and spaces, which delivers a diverse and energy efficient range of new homes to blend seamlessly into the adjacent housing development.”
It promises to provide more green spaces and create a “sustainable place for people to live”.
The area is earmarked for expansion in the Calverton Neighbourhood Plan.
No comments have been received from local residents, according to Gedling Borough Council’s website.
The planning application doesn’t give details on the size of the homes, as these will be finalised in a future planning application.
The plans will go before Gedling Borough Council’s planning committee on Wednesday, January 10, where it is recommended for approval.
