Pure Padel has secured planning approval to convert a former bus depot in central Nottingham into a £1.5 million indoor padel centre.
The 1920s building on Iremonger Road, adjacent to Notts County’s Meadow Lane stadium, will be repurposed to include seven courts alongside food and beverage facilities overlooking the Nottingham Canal. The Manchester-headquartered operator is working with Nottingham City Council to deliver the project.
The redevelopment is part of Pure Padel’s national growth strategy, which targets the launch of 30 venues across the UK within five years. Existing and planned sites include Manchester, Moor Allerton, Lightwater, Solihull, Darlington, and Stockport.
Padel, a hybrid of tennis and squash, continues to see rapid growth in participation across the UK, with operators and investors increasingly targeting underused sites for urban sports redevelopment.
