That I’m not sure about; Nottingham is a good size, as it was planned and built around the time of independence (BBC Midlands and East being its own entity rather than the larger English Regions directorate).
It even has its own scene dock, which leads out onto the car park at London Road - I suspect but don’t quote me on it that the studio is the entire lower level of one of the ‘wings’ to Nottingham, where the scene dock door is. Whether it was constructed to allow for some network studio production to come from the same space or not I’m not sure.
EDIT: I'd estimate Nottingham is 12m x 19m just using the Google Maps measure tool as to where the studio actually is - which would make sense as it's always looked very narrow on camera. They lost a large amount of space to the old East Midlands Launderette rear projection screens of course.
