I’ve just uploaded some changes to this proposed road on OSM (I’ve also made it an associatedStreet Relation so that all the various connecting roads + roundabout(s) can be viewed together):–

Gedling Access Road (GAR)

Note:– the GAR cannot be viewed in ordinary circumstances on the OSM map until it is built. It has, however, already been mapped. Therefore, the link above will show the whole of the GAR as planned in the context of the current map.

The map provided from the council shows it passing through the middle of some Retention Lagoons (I certainly hope not - our route misses them).

No GIS is available (that I know of) so I’ve used a combo of what appears to be a detailed, accurate (but tiny) map & a much larger, and out-of-date, inaccurate map to hand-draw as accurate a route as I can manage.

The planned Gedling Access Road (GAR) is a 3.8km road which will run from Mapperley Plains to the A612 at the Burton Road/Nottingham Road and Trent Valley Way junction.

Planning permission for the road was approved in December 2014. Construction works for the road is due to start in (Spring) 2017 with completion set for (Spring) 2019.

Added 10 May 2017:
I’ve recently photographed + mapped the fields north-west of the abandoned Chase Farm (killed by the GAR). The fence on this photo (first one below) is the line that the GAR will take, and the land dead ahead for many miles is what it will travel over (initial work for the Arnold Lane interchange can be seen beyond the fields).

Added 30 May 2017:
The second and third photos below are south-east of the farm. The first & last photographs are each looking at the farm, the 1st from above & the 2nd from below, since the land rises from south to north; the middle photograph has the farm behind the photographer & has All Hallows church in the distance:–

Update 4 July 2022

Mapillary has changed it’s download URLs & therefore all links within my diaries that used photos stored in Mapillary in the old format are broken. I’m slowly going through to update them. The new URLs are terrifyingly long, but show OK on my screen (and I hope also on yours).
