4,500 new homes could be built
Neighbours have said a Nottinghamshire village will 'become a town' if plans for thousands of homes to built at a barracks move forward. Chetwynd Barracks, on the edge of Toton and Chilwell, is earmarked for up to 4,500 new homes upon its closure, as well as employment space and a major transport hub which was originally planned to serve an HS2 station.

But we just do not know if it will happen. I think all we can do is listen and then think about whether it will go ahead. The barracks has been here a long time, it's a historic building really."
"These plans have been in the works for years and years. I don't think I'll be here to see the start of it. Ruth Hyde, Chief Executive at Broxtowe Borough Council, said: “Despite the fact that Toton will not be the hub station for HS2, we still have significant ambitions for the site expressed in the masterplan.
