Building Control and Planning Enforcement

Few cities offer the variety, scale and opportunity that Nottingham can. 

Nottingham is one of the UK’s Core Cities, home to two major universities, a young and diverse population, a growing innovation economy and some of the most ambitious regeneration projects in the UK. 
 
It is also a city where people can stay, grow and make an impact. If you studied here, grew up here or are looking for a city where you can build a meaningful career, Nottingham offers the chance to work on projects that shape real places and affect real lives. But Nottingham is not just a place to work - it is a place people choose to live, stay and build a life.

Why people choose to live in Nottingham:

• A compact, walkable city with a strong identity and plenty going on throughout the week.
• One of the best food scenes in the country, with everything from independent restaurants and street food to established favourites, cafés, bars and places to meet after work.
• A thriving independent scene, with local shops, makers, markets, creative businesses and venues that give Nottingham its own character.
• Great pubs, bars and nightlife - from historic pubs and real ale venues to relaxed neighbourhood bars and city centre nights out.
• A strong live music and cultural scene, with venues ranging from small independent spaces to major arenas and theatres.
• A city with real history and character, from Nottingham Castle, the Lace Market and the caves to historic streets, buildings and neighbourhoods.
• Big-city opportunities without the scale or cost of living of larger cities, making it an attractive place to start and build a career.
• Two major universities, a young and diverse population and a strong graduate community - but with plenty to offer beyond student life.
• Excellent green spaces nearby, including parks, riverside routes and easy access to the wider Nottinghamshire countryside.
• A well-connected city, with strong public transport, good rail links and an easy-to-navigate city centre.
• A place where people can put down roots, build a career and still enjoy a lively, creative and affordable city lifestyle.
• A city with ambition, major regeneration underway and a clear long-term vision for the future.
