150 homes are planned near the retail park.
A councillor says a 150-home development is "in the wrong place" and implored planners to make sure traffic issues are resolved before anything goes ahead.An aeriel view of where the homes are planned for between Home Bargains and Meole Brace Park and Ride
The developer wants to build the one-, two-, three- and four-bedroom houses, which would include 37"affordable" properties, on a patch of land between Home Bargains and the park & ride next to Meole Brace Retail Park. Meole councillor Bernie Bentick said: “There were multiple reasons for objection in the original application, many of which are still relevant. If this development proceeds, it will be vital to ensure that traffic issues are resolved, including noise, air pollution, vehicle congestion especially at peak times, safe and free-flowing cycling and pedestrian routes in the vicinity of the development and compliant cycle and pedestrian routes along and across Hereford Road.
