The Environment Agency has raised concerns about the project
Major plans to redevelop a historic Mansfield landmark into a retirement village have hit a roadblock over concerns about flooding works.
Most of the factory was demolished in 2011 apart from the iconic clock tower, which still remains in place as a reminder of the site’s historic importance. However, Mansfield District Council has confirmed the plans have hit a stumbling block over concerns about how the river’s culverts could be used or changed.
The EA said: “The two culverted sections of watercourse cause a bottleneck to flows within the River Maun, which exacerbates flood risk to Mansfield.“This would reduce development flood risk constraints upstream of Rock Valley and provides biodiversity enhancements to the area.”However, it says this “may not be as quick a turnaround as the developer may have hoped”.
But the authority describes it as a “complex matter” with “no specific timescales” on when it may conclude.
