Study Area Boundary Sneinton Market Conservation Area Public Square Listed Buildings Public Green Open Space Policy and Strategic Context The site is within the Creative Quarter in Nottingham City Centre as defined in the emerging Local Plan Part 2 (The Land and Planning Policies Document) which is due to be adopted in early 2020. Policy RE3 (Creative Quarter) is therefore applicable to the site and so any development on this site will need to be consistent with and not undermine the delivery of the strategic aims for the Quarter. The site was put forward as part of a larger site allocation during the preparation of the Local Plan Part 2 and was assessed as being a highly accessible brownfield site, at low flood risk and suitable for allocation for a mix of uses. Due, however, to the uncertainty of the site owner’s plans for the Royal Mail site it was not carried forward as the Housing Aid site alone did not meet the size threshold for allocation. Image of 149 - 169 Lower Parliament Street development scheme Regeneration Context The area has recently been a focus of regeneration investment and activity over the last number of years with the refurbishment of Sneinton Market Avenues A, B and C, and the current redevelopment of avenues D and E. Together with Nottingham Trent University’s Metronome a national cross- media centre at Marco Island has created a real vibrancy to the area. There is continued momentum of investment and development interest with a number of sites which have been granted planning permission for a mix of uses including residential custom build housing, apartments, student accommodation and some ground floor cafe/bar uses.

  • Historical and Pictorial Guide of Woodthorpe Grange Park.Pdf
    Historical and Pictorial Guide of Woodthorpe Grange Park From the date it first opened on Thursday 1st June, 1922, Woodthorpe Grange Park has been a part of the City of Nottingham for just a little over ninety-five years. For those, like myself, who have lived all their life facing Woodthorpe Park, and for those who are its visitors, it is hard to imagine life without it. In this day and age, it is all too easy to take for granted our places of communal recreation. As far as we the general public are concerned, they have always been there. But like all things in life they all had a beginning. That beginning was mostly through events that took place maybe three or four centuries ago. For example, Nottingham’s Forest Recreation Ground was one of the original areas to be protected in perpetuity by the 1845 Nottingham Enclosure Act, which set aside some 80 acres (32 hectares) for public recreational use. For over 300 years the Forest has been home to sport, including horse racing, cricket and football. In 1773 it was home to the Nottingham Racecourse, where it remained until it moved in 1892 to where it is today at Colwick. Nottingham Forest Football Club also played their first games on the Forest after its formation in 1865, hence the club's title, ‘Nottingham Forest.’ Also, and most importantly, the Forest Recreation Ground plays host to Nottingham’s annual Goose Fair. Although the Goose Fair can be traced back to the 13th century, the Goose Fair has been part of the Forest Recreation Ground since 1928 when the fair was transferred from its original site of Nottingham’s Old Market Square, after 1927 prior to its redevelopment.

  • Briefing Subject the Economic Value of Heritage Projects in Nottingham
    Briefing Subject The Economic Value of Heritage Projects in Nottingham Date Background The Nottingham Heritage Strategy was adopted by Nottingham City Council in March 2015 The Strategy builds on successes of delivering heritage investment in the city over a number of years adding to and funding part the Placemaking agenda within the city Present position Headline heritage economic statistics: Heritage tourism contributes more to the UK economy than the advertising, film, or car industries. 53% of us visit a historic town or city and 42% visit a museum or gallery at least once a year. With upwards of 12 million visitors per year, tourism in the city is worth an estimated£466m. 4 out of the top 10 attractions in Nottinghamshire are heritage assets within the city limits, including the Castle Museum and Colwick and Wollaton Parks. Commercial investments in listed buildings yield a higher return than unlisted commercial property over 3, 5, 10 and 30 year periods (Colliers International, 2011) – this heritage dividend is estimated at 5% Approximately 1 in 5 visitors to areas which have had historic environment investment spend more in the local area than before, and 1 in 4 businesses have seen the number of customers increase. (Heritage Counts, 2010) Nottingham City Council helped secure over £15.2m of funding from funds, including the National Lottery Heritage Fund and European Rural Development Funds, for restoration of two of Nottingham’s most loved parks, the Forest Recreation Ground and Wollaton Hall, Gardens & Deer Park. A collaboration of Network Rail and East Midlands Trains has seen the complete renovation of the city’s Grade II* Listed train station and infrastructure at a cost of over £67m.
