Urban Renaissance
We are bringing the proposals forward now because we can see a real opportunity to create a lively, attractive and high quality development. The wider region is undergoing a renaissance; the city is economically strong, and the wave of change is now reaching Beeston and Chilwell.

Beeston town centre nearby is set for major change. New homes and shops are planned or underway. The High Road is becoming an attractive and diverse mix of speciality shops and restaurants. Castle College are ready to begin their new development of the Chilwell Campus opposite the site. The Town Centre Area Action Plan by the Borough Council will hopefully provide a clear plan for further investment. The Bartons site is the largest site being considered by the plan.

Queens Road West to the south is reinvigorated as a major new commercial corridor into the town and city centres. Our plans will contribute to the continued regeneration of Beeston town centre and its surroundings, creating a place for new business, and a place for local shops. Our development will also provide attractive new places to live in close proximity to local services and facilities, and opportunities for people to live and work in the same location.

The Nottingham Tram – NET – is planned to run past the site along the High Road in 2013. This will bring major benefits, and make Beeston town centre a short ride away and Nottingham city centre just a few minutes away. It strengthens the potential of the Bartons site as an important location for new homes and businesses.
