Revealed: new mixed-use development for Nottingham suburb
Plans to create a new mixed-use development in the Nottingham suburb of Beeston are set to be revealed this week.
Broxtowe Borough Council has unveiled its plans for phase two of the Beeston Square development which proposes 120 new homes, a cinema and greater choice of food and drink venues.
Councillor Richard Jackson, leader of the Council for Broxtowe Borough Council said: “This is an exciting time for Beeston as we kick-start the second phase of the Beeston Square development.
“After speaking to more than 600 residents, we’ve listened to what local people want to see in the area. This has shaped the outline plans to create a mixed-use scheme that will bring modern new homes, a cinema, restaurants and cafes to the town centre.”
The two-acre site earmarked for development is currently being used as a car park and sits alongside the recently improved tram line. The development aims to revitalise Beeston’s night-time economy driving increased footfall to the town from the local and surrounding communities.
Councillor Jackson added: “I want to encourage local people, traders and people passing through Beeston to look at the initial plans and share their views with us. We are inviting people to tell us what they think via an online survey before the plans are submitted for formal planning approval.
“We want to improve the look and feel of Beeston town centre so people spend more time enjoying leisure activities closer to home, whilst creating modern new homes for people who want to live in the thriving community.”
The designs have been developed by Nottingham-based Leonard Design Architects. The scheme is expected to start onsite in spring 2019, subject to planning approval and is being marketed by agents HEB and JLL.
Outline building plans, CGIs and information on how to feedback on the initial designs will be available for the public to view in the foyer at Broxtowe Borough Council offices in Beeston between Monday 16 April and Friday 27 April.
