Plans for the creation of new office space in Doncaster have been earmarked for a former art college.

The £8 million office refurbishment of Church View - previously Doncaster Art College - moved a step closer to fruition after council officials approved planning consent for the development.

In total, the development could create an additional 50,000 sq ft of grade A office space for the city, which would include 58 studios, workspace and other office space, as well as a bar, a cafe and a conference area.

"As a not-for-profit organisation, we are wholeheartedly committed to using Church View for the good of the community. We want it to be a really stimulating place and a building local people are justifiably proud of," commented head of enterprise at Doncaster Central Development Trust John Wright.

Meanwhile, the construction of a new office project has been earmarked to take place on the set of the 1971 film Get Carter in Gateshead.

The Trinity Square project will create 45 office interior units, as well as a 900-berth student village, a parking complex and a brand new Tesco store.
