A new chapter is being written for one of Nottingham’s most intriguing and overlooked heritage assets.
Nestled in the west of Nottingham City, a Grade II-listed Cold War-era bunker, known as “The War Rooms” has stood silent for decades. This bold regeneration project aims to preserve its historical significance while introducing modern amenities to bring the site back to life.
The scheme comprises:
- Conversion and refurbishment of the historic Listed Building
- Development of high-quality, low-energy affordable homes on the surrounding vacant land
These two elements are connected, sharing infrastructure, access, landscaping and design language.
At the heart of the proposal is the transformation of the historic War Rooms into a vibrant, multi-use community and heritage destination with prospective occupiers including:
- East Midlands Chamber / Youth Charity Base 51 / Television Workshop
- Flexible workspace, conferencing and media studios
- Food and drink outlets
- A ‘living museum’ preserving the site’s historic features
Together, the new residential development designed holistically around the surrounding site delivers:
- Community value
- Affordable homes in a landscaped, sustainable setting
- A new civic focal point for Beechdale and Nottingham city
