From June 2015, Harworth Estates (who owns land next to Gedling Country Park) will be doing work to prepare this land for future house building. They have planning permission to build 150 homes on the site. Following these preparation works, Harworth Estates is likely to sell the land to a house builder who will start a build programme at some stage in the future.
The preparation work includes:
The footpath into the park, on Spring Lane (to the east of Bradstone Drive and marked in blue on the map) will be closed during the construction works once a new temporary footpath from Axmouth Drive / Braunton Crescent (marked in red on the map) is created.
For safety reasons, the whole of Harworth’s site (marked in grey on the map) will also be fenced off until the end of the preparation works.
The preparation work includes:
- re-routing footpaths
- excavating lagoons
- earth moving operations
- removal of a section of hedgerow along Spring Lane
- fencing off of a small section of the park (shown in yellow on the map below).
The footpath into the park, on Spring Lane (to the east of Bradstone Drive and marked in blue on the map) will be closed during the construction works once a new temporary footpath from Axmouth Drive / Braunton Crescent (marked in red on the map) is created.
For safety reasons, the whole of Harworth’s site (marked in grey on the map) will also be fenced off until the end of the preparation works.
This new path is accessible by turning into Axmouth Drive (from Spring Lane) and then walking along Axmouth Drive past the turnings for Bradstone Drive and Braunton Crescent until you see a tarmacked footpath on the left between two rows of houses that leads to a gap in the wooden fence. Proceed through this gap and right onto the new footpath, which takes you into the park.

More information about the timings and changes to the footpaths can be found in the following flyer produced by Gedling Borough Council (this is a large 15MB file in PDF format, which needs Adobe Reader to view):
