The northern and western boundary of the site abuts the Chesterfield Canal. The southern boundary adjoins Ranby House School, Ranby Primary School and the A620, which would be expected to provide the primary access to the site. The eastern boundary adjoins Green Mile Farm, Old London Road and HM Prison Ranby, which is screened from the site itself. Location Retford railway station is approx. 3 miles to the east of the site. Access to the A1 (northbound and southbound) via the A620 is to the south west of the site. The market town of Worksop and its railway station is only 6 miles to the west. Both Retford and Worksop’s services and facilities are accessible via the No 43 bus.

A hybrid planning application was submitted to Bassetlaw District by Caddick Developments in 2024. Technical The majority of the site falls within Flood Zone 1. There are two power lines which cross the site from north to south in the central and eastern section. A further (smaller) power line crosses the site in a rectangle pattern to the western edge of the site. It is anticipated that these power lines can be incorporated into the masterplanning process. No intrusive ground investigation works have been undertaken. Planning The land is located within the administrative district of Bassetlaw District. The Bassetlaw Local Plan (2020- 2038) was adopted in May 2024 which provides the planning framework, strategic vision and sets the amount of housing and commercial development required. The site also lies within the Babworth Neighbourhood Plan Area. Consultation on the Submission Draft was consulted upon in February and early March 2025. The Neighbourhood Plan seeks to allocate land for small scale development only.
