The revamp of a major business' city centre headquarters has been updated to include a proposal for a new café. Rooftop extension plans for Capital One's headquarters in Station Street, which would create new events and greenery areas, were approved by Nottingham City Council on December 22.
But a fresh proposal has now been submitted for an internal café and servery space to operate between approved stair cores, and to provide a permanent canopy instead of the tensile structures that were previously approved. The old application focused on converting the roof areas at the firm's Trent House building into a events terrace.
As well as the now planned café, the previous plans will provide a place for the company's 1,400 Trent House-based employees to enjoy new open air hospitality and events on existing rooftop areas. Developers also say that a "green wall" and new planting will enhance local biodiversity, and "illustrate the importance of investment in a landscape within the confines of the city".
