Legal action
When Rushcliffe Borough Council adopted the Supplementary Planning Document (SPD) that was supposed to be the “Masterplan” for their proposed “Sustainable Urban Expansion”, back in March – without the very information they had paused adopting it for back in January – we took legal advice. It turns out that we had very strong grounds for…

Flying High!
Yesterday afternoon (Monday 27th July 2026) the draw to our fantastic prize competition took place. Supervised by some members of the Save Nottingham Airfield Committee, and a couple of members of the public for independence, one of Tollerton’s best-known and most frequently-seen residents, Kevin Pyke drew the winning ticket to this fabulous flight experience prize.…

Cake and eat it?
Rushcliffe Council are getting desperate and, as their desperation grows, their messaging and their press releases are becoming even more weird than normal. Since our papers for the High Court landed on desks at RBC, the council crashed straight into panic mode. Yesterday’s briefing to the local press demonstrates a continuation of their panic. RBC…

Thank you!
Yesterday’s fundraiser was a knock-out affair! The weather turned up, a combined fixed-wing and rotary flyover turned up, and supporters of our cause turned up. An informal headcount estimated over 150 people came to see the displays, talk to some of our volunteers, win significant prizes(!) (generously donated by local businesses and supporters), and load…

Judicial Review?
If Rushcliffe Borough Council decides to adopt the Supplementary Planning Document for the proposed Gamston/Tollerton “SUE”, in its current form, it would be counter to their own commitments, it would contradict their own precedents and the council’s own previous practice. In short, pushing ahead with the SPD in its current form would be against the…

Lifetime Support
On 10th March 2026, the same 6 RBC councillors who rejected (on 13th January) the supplementary planning document will sit down to discuss it again, prior to approving it. If they do approve it but the SPD still has critical pieces of decision-making information missing? Well, if they do that, we shall lodge a Judicial…

A good night!
Yesterday evening’s decision by RBC to withdraw the supplementary planning document (SPD), and to defer any further decisions until early March, is the best possible decision for the people of Rushcliffe, and for the residents of Gamston and Tollerton in particular. The SPD was rushed, incomplete, and contained so many errors it was actually nonsense.…
Rushcliffe Borough Council approved a flawed
and incomplete SPD. We launched a Judicial
Review. RBC RBC changed their SPD to fall
into line with all of our challenges. This
put RBC into an unlawful position.
Our Judicial Review continues. Please help
