Queens drive, right by the Homebase on the lights (opposite side). There's a new Dunelm store going up aswell as a 2 storey showroom for a 'prestige brand without presence in Nottingham.'

http://publicaccess.nottinghamcity.gov.uk/online-a...

Because I'm a nosy bugger, I've been through the plans/documents on the planning portal of the city council but no reference at all, anywhere.

So, who's coming? Anyone any ideas?

Yours,

Nosey of Nottingham

ETA: Link to elevation plans.

I can see the new Dunelm being built from my office window - had no idea there was going to be a new dealership there as well. Aston, Lamborghini, McClaren, Bentley and Rolls Royce are the only prestige brands without a showroom here. I suppose some or more likely than others, but Aston has a showroom in Derby which is c.30 mins drive away and Lambo and Bentley/RR are in Leicester.

I've considered Aston but dismissed it because of the proximity of Stratstone Derby.

I now think Infiniti.

Does anyone know what the other building is.
Its definitely not a retail unit.
Theres a large security fence cameras every 20 metres and security airlocks to get in and a massive back up generator.
So any clues as to who it is unless mr secret squirrel.

I think you're referring to the old British Rail data centre which has been vacant for a while now.

The old Vision Express site you're referring to is going to be a new Sandicliffe Ford showroom.

Well it looks like the site on Queens Drive is to not be the home of Aston Martin.

Instead, Sytner are building a new AM showroom at the bottom of Thane Road, right by the Players' site.
