Lorraine Baggs, head of inward investment at Invest in Nottingham, added: “We are very pleased to see a planning application submitted for this significant site within the city centre.

It is one of a number of planned schemes that forms part of the Southern Gateway and will breathe new life into a site which has sat unloved for many years.”
he transformation of one of Nottingham’s most significant development sites has taken a step forward today (2 July) as proposals to create a brand new mixed-use scheme on the former Boots Island site are submitted for planning.
Nottingham City Council will now consider the planning application, which comes after several months of consultation and site evaluation, extensive design work and discussions with city stakeholders.
The plans will see the 40-acre site, which has laid derelict for many years, totally transformed to bring new homes, grade A office space, creative market space, a five-star hotel, retail units, a ‘linear’ park and community space as well as new student accommodation to the city.
Christopher Ware of Conygar Investment Company plc – the firm which purchased the site in 2016, said: “Since purchasing the site, we have been carefully considering our plans for this high-profile site; it has seen a number of false dawns over the
Historic Carrington Street Building to Contribute to Southern Gateway Transformation N
ottingham-based architecture firm Rayner Davies has submitted the application, in partnership with property
consultants Bruton Knowles, to fully renovate Gordon House, the 93-year-old building at 12 Carrington Street in line with the Townscape Heritage Scheme. Plans that will also boost the £250 million worth of rejuvenation works already underway at the Southern Gateway.
Rayner Davies Project Architect, Mark Welsford, said: “The transformation of this key approach into Nottingham is already underway and with visible results. Plans to further improve the areas around Station Street and Carrington Street are vital to connect with the new works underway around the Broadmarsh car park and bus station”.
Bruton Knowles Managing Partner, James Bailey, said: “The restoration of Gordon House, together with the new build Broadmarsh bus station and car park opposite will indeed transform this section of Carrington Street and present a new experience for those thousands of pedestrians, businesses and visitors, that use this as a main route from station to city. As a result, redesigned ground floor units earmarked for new retail space are already generating much interest.”
The proposal includes plans to rejuvenate the frontage of the building, reinstating the fully-glazed windows that were in place in the 1920s when it was a furniture retailer of some repute and then an early car showroom selling popular British vehicles including MG and Wolseley in the late 1920s.

Conygar is working with regeneration specialist Lavignac Securities to deliver the site, which lies between Manvers Street at the bottom of Sneinton and London Road.
Greg Miller-Cheevers of Lavignac, said: “This scheme forms an integral part of Nottingham’s Southern Gateway and we will be creating new places to live, work and play – creating a new community within the city centre”.
The ground floor will boast 356 sq m of vibrant retail space appealing to tenants looking to take advantage of widespread regeneration efforts and a high footfall location close to the heart of the city centre and a busy transport hub.
Upstairs the office space will continue to be occupied by Bhatia Best Solicitors who plan to create a brand-new reception area. And on the outside, careful cleaning and repair work will recondition the historic façade.
