Plans To Develop Low-Carbon Council Office Near Hucknall Get The Green Light
Plans have been approved to develop a new, low-carbon council office at the site of Top Wighay Farm near Hucknall.
It follows a meeting of the Nottinghamshire County Council's Planning and Rights of Way Committee, with councillors voting to approve the construction of the flagship building which will help the council save more than a million pounds each year.
The new building is a key component of the council's 'Investing in Nottinghamshire' programme to reduce the number of council buildings from over 17 to 10, resulting in an annual saving of £1.35m for taxpayers and more resources for vital public services.
The Top Wighay office will also generate income by leasing space to other public sector organisations and small and medium-sized businesses.
The applicant, Nottinghamshire County Council, explained how the Top Wighay office is part of broader plans to build a sustainable village on the site, which already has outline planning permission.
These plans will bring 805 new homes and a new primary school and are estimated to create more than 1,000 new full-time jobs and boost the economy by more than £873 million over a decade.
Work on the site is expected to start early next year.
