MORE time is set to be given to sell green-belt land near Hucknall earmarked for 1,000 new homes.
The sale of the land at Top Wighay Farm has not gone through yet but Nottinghamshire County Council, which owns the land, thinks selling it to a developer is still the best plan of action.
If the homes are built, they will count toward Gedling Borough Council's target of 7,250 new homes before 2028.
Permission to sell the land was given in November last year. A report to the county inance and property committee, set for 10.30am today at County Hall, says it would take longer to find a new developer to buy the land than to extend the negotiating period.
Activists have campaigned to save green-belt land close to Hucknall, near the boundaries between Ashfield District and Gedling Borough councils.
