Broxtowe Borough Council has acquired over an acre of land in Giltbrook, with plans to create industrial units.
Work on the designs for nine new light industrial units is underway, and planning permission is being sought for Autumn 2025. Units will range in size from 850 to 2,100 square feet on the site close to IKEA in Giltbrook.
Prior to securing the land from Peter James Homes, work had been carried out to divert sewage, ensuring work can begin on site as soon as possible.
These plans follow the start of works on a further five industrial units at a site close to the new Visitor Centre at Bennerley Viaduct earlier this month.
Portfolio holder for asset management and development, councillor Milan Radulovic MBE said: “New businesses and growth are vital to areas like Kimberley, who have seen large scale job losses in traditional industries.
“This is part of our revised plan for job creation in the area, showing that we are doggedly determined to deliver in the north Borough and will leave no stone unturned to achieve growth. We are grateful for the support of PJ Homes and their directors who facilitated the deal and with whom we have worked in partnership to accelerate development.”
