A new builders' merchants and 13 industrial units could be built on a former petrol storage hub in Colwick. Gedling Borough Council's planning committee will decide plans this week for the former Total fuel site, on road number three in the Colwick Industrial Estate.
The proposals are being submitted by Chancerygate, which acquired the derelict land in November 2021 and said hundreds of jobs could follow. The 6.35-acre site has been unused since 2019 and the main building has since been demolished.
It comes after residents spoke in favour of the £20million transformation back in February last year. Retired Charlie Cole, 71, said: "Well in times like this you can never say more jobs anywhere is a bad thing. I'm sure more than a few jobs went from the area when the Total fuel place closed. Plus a load of land with nothing on is no use to anyway really is it I suppose."
