The council is relocating to a new development site near Hucknall
Early assessments on the future use of County Hall after Nottinghamshire County Council moves out suggest the building could accommodate 350 residential units and major commercial space. Nottinghamshire County Council has approved plans to leave the historic West Bridgford building after more than 75 years.
Residents, developers, community and heritage groups will now be asked for their views on the best uses for the historic building. However, a council report that's been seen has revealed discussions on the future use of the building took place last year. The “initial thinking” included about 350 residential units and about 2,500 square metres of commercial use across the existing ‘H block’. It adds developers believe the site could accommodate private, for sale, build-to-rent and senior living housing on the riverside.
“It’s still an open book and we’re going to have conversations about its best uses and about whether this building is viable or not,” he said. “In order to do this, we have to consider what potential other uses there are. During the debate on Thursday, Labour councillors called for the authority to publish the report and outline a business case for the future plans at County Hall. Cllr Kate Foale, the group’s leader, said it is “disingenuous at best” asking councillors to vote for the relocation without a long-term plan for County Hall.
“Any detail relating to so-called market testing activity should have been made public to prior to today’s vote and now needs to be released immediately.”
