Wilson Bowden Developments Limited have confirmed that they are anticipating commencing the long awaited Nottingham Business Park in September and have confirmed that they have submitted a detailed planning application to the City of Nottingham for the first phase of offices within the 120 acre parkland Office Park.

The Nottingham Office Park will, upon completion, provide approximately 79,058 sq m (851,000 sq ft) of high quality campus style offices located 0.5 miles south of Junction 26 of the M1 accessed from the A6002.

The on-site infrastructure and road works are due to commence by late July in accordance with the overall outline planning consent which was granted in April 2000 with the first phase of offices following once detailed planning consent has been granted.

The planning application is for a total of 7,432 sq m (80,000 sq ft) of 2 and 3 storey buildings set within a 6 acre landscaped site offering a range of buildings from 557.4 sq m (6,000 sq ft) to 2,415.4m sq (26,000 sq ft).

It is understood that this is the first phase of Wilson Bowden's rolling programme with the Park nticipated to be developed over the next 5 to 10 years.

The Business Park has been fully supported by the City of Nottingham and is to be highly accessible from day 1 with on-site car parking, good accessibility from the M1 and Nottingham via the A6002 and the provision of public transport from day 1 which is to be provided by Nottingham City Transport in conjunction with financial support from Wilson Bowden.

Fin Mitchell, Development Manager at Wilson Bowden Developments confirmed:-

"The Nottingham Business Park is set to provide the City with its first coordinated masterplanned high quality Business Park. From the outset, the buildings will be planned within the overall development
framework offering contemporary design meeting the requirements and aspirations of the Nottingham City Council and incorporating the requirements of modern day businesses.

The site is to be highly accessible both from within and outside of Nottingham with excellent accessibility both by car and public transport and from the outset the Park will provide a prestigious environment with good quality buildings and landscaping. We have learnt from our experience on other Wilson Bowden Business Parks throughout the UK that businesses are increasingly looking for better buildings within easily accessible high quality settings.

Being set within 120 acres and offering approximately 60 acres of parkland, the Park offers a great opportunity for businesses to locate to a quality environment with good complementary facilities for their staff. By contributing to the provision of public transport, providing ancillary facilities and open space, we believe that the Nottingham Business Park is in every respect the complete package."

The Nottingham office of Fisher Hargreaves Proctor are appointed as agents on the Park.
