Of course there could have made a new area by joining Central East and YTV ( south - Belmont ) This you If you live in Lincoln or Grantham you would be closer to Nottingham.
Lincoln is pretty much split in two when it comes to transmitters, and in analogue days, a relay on the eastern side of the city carried BBC from Nottingham and ITV from Hull

Didn't that switch to relay BBC Hull after it launched?

I'm not sure it did, I have a 2010 BBC Tx list that shows it fed from Waltham for BBC 1/2 and Belmont for ITV/4. Although a rare picture of the four analogue transmitter sets on mb21 seem to show all four transponders fed from a single input feed (panel at the top), but that's just a (mainly) a guess
They are definitely not Brian Bennett's best work. He made some amazing atmospheric funk for K.P.M. and other libraries. Then again, all the library composers had to keep their work contemporary across all styles possible.

Remember central had its own library. Rainbow library. I think most of it is in the hand of universal.
Yes, it's not something that would have been done on the spur of the moment. I assume that Gas Street was either purpose built or modified for them so it would have taken a few years to plan and build
Gas Street was purpose built for them with work starting in 1994, some clam it was Carlton, but as you say it very doubtful this was all done on the spar of Carlton taken over. Its more likley Central had been looking around since 1993.
Gas Street was opened as 'Central Court' (This was engraved into a foundation stone at the site - long since covered up by a '22 Gas Street' and before that a dull 'ITV Central' sign) and the outline planning applications were submitted in 1994, full consent granted in 1995 and construction starting that year, finishing in 1997.
