New artwork has been shared that shows what a brand-new retail, office and makers’ centre on Victoria Street in Stapleford could look like.
The £6.2m building, called the Pencil Works, is funded through the Stapleford Towns Fund. It has been designed to offer high-quality facilities to support the town aims of becoming a great place to visit, work and do business. Stapleford was awarded £21.1m from the Government to generate improvements across the town.
The building is projected to create 50 jobs and 1,000 square metres of new retail, leisure and office space.
Plans include a creative makers’ space for specialist craftspeople and artists, three retail units for food/drinks outlets, public toilets, and disabled parking and bicycle storage on the ground floor, and flexible office space for small businesses on the first floor.
Subject to planning permission, work would get underway in winter with completion in late 2025.
The architect’s visualisations are subject to change as plans develop over the coming months in partnership with local people. A formal public consultation on the plans will take place in October 2024, including a drop-in event for local people to meet the team and ask questions.
