UP to 70 homes could be given planning permission in a development in a Notts village.
The development on Cornwater Fields in Longdale Lane, Ravenshead, goes before Gedling Borough Council's planning committee on Wednesday.
The plot, near Ravenshead Leisure Centre, would feature a play area and open space incorporated into the houses, 21 of which will be bungalows.
The remaining houses will be a mix of two to five-bed homes and nine of the bungalows will be made "affordable".
Three objections were made which queried who would manage the open space and claimed the houses would be too imposing.
Council officers consulted Ravenshead Parish Council, which said it was "realistic" about the need for housing in the area.
A statement from the parish council said: "The village needs accommodation for asset-rich, down-sizing Ravenshead older people."
But concerns were raised about the uncertainty in the designs and site of homes.
"We are unhappy with the prospect of housing in the masterplan, being sited immediately adjacent to street pavements," says a statement from the parish council.
"This is untypical of the Ravenshead scenario, except for the Taylor Wimpey Development on the other Cornwall site, which we abhor."
