Homes England announced it had bought Nottingham’s former shopping centre, one of the largest vacant sites in any UK city centre, in March.

Labour-led Nottingham City Council took on the site in 2020 after the collapse of the centre's former owner, Intu, and the government housing agency says it is now seeking to realise the authority's masterplan.

The redevelopment of the land, which includes the cleared site to the west of the Green Heart, the multi-storey NCP car park, Severns House, and the old college site on Maid Marian Way, will pave the way for 1,000 new homes and up to 20,000 square metres of retail, office and community space.

Around 2,000 full-time jobs are also expected to be created.
