The East Midlands Combined County Authority (EMCCA) has approved £3.39 million to fund the demolition of Nottingham’s Broad Marsh shopping centre, clearing the way for a mixed-use development.
The funding will remove the centre’s remaining concrete frame, with demolition scheduled to begin in July and take a year to complete. Once cleared, the site is set to include up to 1,000 new homes and 20,000 square metres of employment space.
The project, expected to cost £29.3 million in total, aims to attract further public and private investment. Nottingham City Council, which took control of the site in 2020 after former owner Intu collapsed, has faced multiple funding rejections from the previous government.
A new green space opened on part of the site last year, and additional details on the redevelopment plan are expected in the coming weeks. The council hopes to complete the full transformation by 2027.
