A proposal to build 115 homes at a village in north Nottinghamshire has been submitted.
The application to Broxtowe Borough Council has been submitted by Terry and Ann Anthony on behalf of Barratt and David Wilson Homes.
If approved, the mix of homes up to four-bedrooms would be created in the village of Brinsley, around 11 miles from Nottingham and would be accessed via the A608 Cordy Lane.
The design and access statement reads: "It lies between the old Brinsley and the new Brinsley settlement to the north.
"The site is located to the east of Church Lane and behind the recreation ground."
The site is around 4.2 hectares in size and comprises a series of animal paddocks which slopes gently down towards Brinsley Book, which runs along the eastern boundary.
A recreation ground lies immediately to the west and a small farm to the east, and beyond the site to the south lies open countryside.
The area has been allocated for housing under part 2 of the Broxtowe Borough Local Plan and is a 10 to 15 minute walk to the village centre and close to Headstocks Local Nature reserve and routes into the countryside.
The statement adds: "There is the opportunity to create a more attractive settlement edge at this location."
The plan is for a mix of homes including linked, semi-detached and detached styles with the majority being two storeys in height (between 7.5m to 8.5m).
There will also be a small proportion of 2.5 storey buildings, reaching to a maximum of 10.6m which will be located mostly on the main street.
Of these, 70 percent of the total are intended for private ownership and 30 percent will be affordable.
The application provides for 80 two, three and four-bed open market homes and 35 one, two and three-bed affordable dwellings.
The overall scheme density is 28 dwellings per hectare.
"The arrangement on the varying heights of buildings will be used subtly to create a varied roofline across the development", the statement reads.
"The character of the development will have a traditional feel to reflect the qualities of the countryside edge.
"Elevational detailing will include; Georgian style bay windows, stone cills, brick stretcher heads and cills, brick corbel detailing and projecting eaves.
"Material selection will be mainly of variations of red and multi red brick, with contrasting string brick course, reflecting the typical materials used in the locality."
The majority of resident's parking will be provided with driveways to the side of properties to ensure that vehicles do not dominate the street scene.
