Decision details

Extension to garden centre including coffee lounge, children’s play area, goods in handling and plant protection and enlargement of retail area

Trowell Garden Centre, Stapleford Road, Trowell, Nottinghamshire, NG9 3TG

This item had been called before Committee by Councillor D D Pringle.

There were no late items and no public speakers.

Debate focused on the benefits of the garden to the community including employment opportunities and the improvements that had been made to the entrance and car park.  It was considered that, because the garden centre was situated in a former quarry, the impact on the openness and amenity of the Green Belt would be limited as the site was naturally shielded from view.
