Decision details

In July 2025, Broxtowe Borough Council formally adopted the former Biffa sand quarry and landfill site at Bramcote. The site now formed an important area of young woodland, grassland and biodiversity?rich habitats, located alongside an established residential community. With funding secured for improvement works, the Council had begun to implement initial enhancements, including measures to improve site accessibility, and was progressing the statutory process to designate the area as a Local Nature Reserve. Members received an update on the Bramcote Quarry consultation results and to seek agreement on the proposed name for the site.

RESOLVED that the site be named the Bramcote Quarry Nature Reserve.

Reason

This is in accordance with the Council’s corporate priority to protect the environment for future generations
