Contractors have started work to demolish the former police station on Bridgford Road.
The West Bridgford police station building will be replaced by a retirement complex.
The scheme will deliver 86 Retirement Living apartments, with a mixture of one- and two-bedroom units, complete with on-site car parking and professionally landscaped gardens.
The development will also feature communal facilities such as a residents’ lounge, on-site bistro, mobility scooter charging and storage room, guest suite, an internal refuse store and lift access to all floors.
Since submitting a planning application in March this year, McCarthy Stone says it has worked closely with the Council and the site neighbours to produce a final design that is appropriate for the site and works for the local community.
McCarthy Stone said it has listened to the community and have revised their proposal to leave the woodland as a far more natural area, enabling the continued protection of trees and planting, and encouraging biodiversity in the area.
McCarthy Stone will begin construction of their development in the coming months
