Previously rejected plans for holiday lodges have been resubmitted to officials at the district council.
RSK ADAS Ltd previously sent proposals to Bassetlaw District Council to demolish an old farm workshop and erect a farm house, four apartments, four bedsits and two new tourist lodges at West Drayton Farm.
The council said that inadequate details had been submitted to see if the development would have any impact on protected animals on July 8.
In their rejection, the district council added that the site would not be keeping with the overall character of the area.
Council make decision on controversial plans to build holiday lodges
Now, the developer behind the plans say it is working closely with Bassetlaw District Council as proposals were resubmitted on July 22.
In a statement, a spokesperson for RSK ADAS Ltd said: "We are working closely with the council on an acceptable design for the proposed new buildings.
"The proposals are in keeping with the existing permitted use of the site and will ensure that visitors will have a high quality base to enjoy local and regional attractions and thereby contribute to the local economy."

Tourist accommodation that would be built on the site is said to be aimed at families, large groups and couples.
A garage currently on the plot of land would be converted into offices, storage space and a farm shop, while access into the site would be upgraded as part of the proposals.
However, the previous proposals came under scrutiny from local residents as 41 people raised objections.
One local told Lincolnshire Live that the plans would 'ruin the village'.
The person, who asked not to be named, previously told us: "The developers held a meeting in the village to discuss the plans, but it quickly became acrimonious – they now have no option but to take on board our concerns with it."
Resubmitted plans are yet to receive any objections at the time of publication.
