University's plans to convert fifth HMRC building are approved

CHANGE OF USE GRANTED FOR FORMER OFFICE BLOCK

ANOTHER office block once used by the Government tax service is to be converted for business school use by the University of Nottingham.

From 1994 the Inland Revenue Centre housed just under 2,000 staff, who at the time worked for Inland Revenue - now HMRC - following its decision to expand outside London.

The offices were put up for sale for £36m after HMRC moved to the new Unity Square block off Sheriff's Way, near Nottingham Station, in 2021.

It was bought by the University of Nottingham, which was given planning approval in 2023 to use it as a new city centre location for the Nottingham University Business School.
