A 22-storey tower has been postponed at a redevelopment on an 'ever-changing' side of Nottingham. The 22-storey residential tower, as well as a nine-storey apartment building and 12-storey student building, were all originally part of a plan for the junction of Queens Road and London Road.
But when the scheme, which was due to be built where four commercial units were recently demolished, was heard by Nottingham City Council's planning committee on October 19, it was deferred. This was due to concerns over how the scale and architecture of the tallest structure would impact Nottingham's skyline.
Significant revisions have now been made by applicant Lichfields, with the large London Road tower and the Queens Road apartment building now omitted from the plan. The application now only addresses the proposed student building, which would form the first phase of the redevelopment, with a new application detailing the residential phase two of the plan to be submitted in early 2023.
