Plans Unveiled For New Homes And Leisure Facilities In Nottingham
![Construction News Image](https://www.construction.co.uk/newsimages/2_243386_Council-Nottingham.jpg)
Plans have been unveiled to create a new hub featuring homes and leisure facilities in Nottingham.
Phase two of the Beeston Square development involves delivering 120 new homes, a cinema and a greater choice of food and drink venues.
A public consultation has now been launched over the plans, with Broxtowe Borough Council seeking views from the local community on their proposals. The two-acre site earmarked for development is currently being used as a car park and sits alongside the recently improved tram line.
Designed by Nottingham-based Leonard Design Architects, the scheme aims to revitalise Beeston's night-time economy, driving increased footfall to the town from the local and surrounding communities.
Subject to planning approval, work is expected to start on site in spring 2019.
Council Leader Richard Jackson 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.
"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."
Outline building plans, CGIs and information on how to provide feedback on the initial designs will be available for the public to view in the foyer at Broxtowe Borough Council offices in Beeston from today, 16 April to Friday, 27 April.
