There are fears a town in Nottinghamshire has "already lost too much of its architectural heritage" as plans to demolish a Victorian heritage asset to make way for a GP surgery look set to be given the green light. Oban House on Chilwell Road, Beeston, could soon be demolished to make way for the Manor Surgery's plans.
Broxtowe Borough Council's planning officers are recommending the proposal be granted permission. It will be determined at a planning committee meeting on October 5. While the plans have come under intense scrutiny, bosses at the surgery have argued Beeston will "suffer" if the building of a larger facility is delayed any longer.
Oban House, in Chilwell Road, was built in around 1890 when Beeston had become a "boom town". The Victorian building was first used as staff quarters for management at the Anglo Scotian Mills in Wollaton Road.
