Plans for 430 new homes in Fernwood village have been submitted to Newark and Sherwood District Council by housebuilder Persimmon.
The proposed development will include a range of 1 to 5-bedroom homes, all equipped with EV chargers and solar panels. 56 of the homes will be available as affordable rent, discount open market value, and First Homes.
The development is part of a larger site, which is allocated in the local plan and has outline planning permission for up to 1,800 houses. The wider project will see over £7.4 million invested in a new primary school and £1.7 million towards healthcare facilities.
Additional contributions will support bus services, a community hall with sports facilities, and enhanced green spaces, including pocket parks, SuDS, and play areas.
As part of the first phase, Persimmon will deliver grass pitches for football and rugby, new changing facilities, allotments, and a central open space with a play area.
The development also includes new bus stops and transport improvements along Shire Lane and the A1 South.
George Breed, Senior Land and Planning Manager Persimmon Nottingham, said: “We are excited to submit our first reserved matters application for Fernwood South.
“This development represents a significant investment in the Newark area, bringing a wide range of high-quality homes and community amenities.
“We look forward to working with Newark and Sherwood District Council and local stakeholders to deliver this important project for local homebuyers.”
