Finishing the restoration of the Newark Works

Looks like the last bit of renovation /restoration work on the old Newark Works buildings fronting the Lower Bristol Road could be underway soon.

The building with the ‘Newark Works’ sign is the one to be completed.

A planning application has been received by B&NES asking to vary slightly the conditions agreed upon for the internal and external alterations necessary to provide a creative employment workspace.

Buildings 1, 2 and 3 were completed in 2022 and are now occupied. Building 4 remains vacant and these works are due to begin later this year.

The variation refers to roof lights, solar panels and the positioning of condenser units.
