Lindum Development Jointly own the land near Newark Showground and part of which is proposed to be acquired by national Highways for the works. Our site is allocated in the adopted Development Plan under reference NUA/MU/1 for mixed use non-residential purposed and would therefore, when developed, contribute significantly to employment opportunities in the area. Lindum had prepared plans for the development of the site, commenced marketing, competitively invited and accepted offers via an appointed agent and were aiming to apply for planning planning, however the proposed acquisition of part of the site would affect the number of units that could be developed on the site and consequently our development proposals had to change. National Highways commitment to reducing the impact of the scheme is noted, Lindum have met with national highways and its representatives to discuss this issue along with the need to relocate the proposed footway cycleway and discussions are on-going between the parties. Unless and until the issue is satisfactorily resolved, which is the agreement on the repositioning of the required footway cycleway and the acquisition of the land fronting the A46 to allow the improvement works to be undertaken, Lindum object to these works.
