Path cleared for demolition of what remains of Broadmarsh

THE continued demolition of the Broadmarsh Centre - which is expected to cost £30 million - has cleared one of its final hurdles.

- 

Applicant Homes England submitted a prior approval determination application to Nottingham City Council on April 11. This was to confirm whether the demolition project could go ahead without needing further planning approval from the council.

Yesterday, the city council gave given the green light for the project.

Documents read: “The proposed demolition may be carried out at any time within five years of April 5, 2025, but after that date, a further application will be needed.”

Construction on the Broad Marsh redevelopment is expected to begin in 2029. It comes after the city council approved the sale of the land to Homes England, the UK Government's housing and regeneration agency, in March.
