Named Chase Farm, the large development is part of the Gedling Colliery scheme, and will complement the new Gedling Country Park. The brownfield land at Chase Farm has been under Gedling Council’s radar for some time, in the hopes that it will help meet the Borough’s housing needs, with a target of delivering 7,250 homes by 2028.
