Green light for new NG2 Business Park car dealership

Plans by Marshall Motor Holdings to build a new Volvo complex on the NG2 business park in Nottingham have been given green light by Nottingham City Council’s planning committee.

The car dealership giant will add to its existing Valley Road site with a new showroom, workshop, offices, storage and spare parts facility, MOT bay and valeting suite on land near Speedo House at Unit 6, Enterprise Way in the city.

The plans were approved with the committee saying that appropriate landscaping should run alongside the frontage of the site and along the road, rather than simply having a straight-up view of the cars in the showroom behind the large glass windows. That will be built into the planning conditions.

A planning statement reads: “The proposals will make use of an existing brownfield site, will provide jobs, and ensures that the proposals will pose no greater flood risk. The proposals reflect high quality design which meet the operational requirements of the occupiers.”

Marshall will continue to occupy its Valley Road site, but will use it for a different brand.
