New Broadmarsh car park and bus station designs revealed

New designs for the Broadmarsh car park and bus station have been revealed after a planning application was submitted to Nottingham City Council.

Designed by Leonard Design, the new car park includes charging points on each floor for electric cars, with infrastructure in place to increase these as usage of electric cars increases. Solar panels will be installed on the roof of the building so it will generate and use its own energy. A mix of natural and mechanical ventilation will ensure a circulation of clean air in the building for its customers.

New retail units, with double height windows, will face on to Collin Street and Carrington Street, which will be pedestrianised under the Broadmarsh plans.

In addition, an application has been submitted for consent to operate three digital screens as part of the façade of the Broadmarsh Car Park. These would be installed on the corners of the building at Collin Street and Middle Hill, Collin Street and Carrington Street and finally at Canal Street and Carrington Street.

Councillor Jon Collins, leader of the City Council, said: “We want an appealing, modern and bright new building on the reinvigorated Broadmarsh landscape

“The redeveloped building will include a new bus station, prominent high quality shops that will boost the area and complement the intu Broadmarsh redevelopment. Additional car parking spaces will give the city more of what it needs and mean more people will be able to visit the new Broadmarsh area.

“These are ambitious plans, and with ambition comes challenges, but I encourage people to view our proposals and give their views about the application.”
The new designs will be considered at Planning Committee on Wednesday 21 February 2018.
