Broxtowe in Nottinghamshire includes Beeston, Stapleford, and Eastwood. Approximately 61.2% of the borough is Green Belt, shaping development around suburban edges. Planning balances town centre intensification with protection of surrounding countryside.
In the last year Broxtowe decided 501 applications which is well below the national average of 988. The approval rate was 93% (marginally above the national average of 88%) and 66% of applications were decided on time, (significantly above the national average of 59%).
