A bar and new apartments will be built as part of a 'regeneration' project despite worries over its 'alien' design. A new bar or café, a shop, and apartments will be added to the existing Victorian buildings on the corner of Woolpack Lane and Stoney Street in the Lace Market, after Nottingham City Council granted permission on August 22.
The new four-storey white brick glazed extension to 15-17 Stoney Street will wrap around the curved corner from Stoney Street to the car park area. Above the bar there will be seven one-bed and two-bed apartments and office space.
The two buildings were previously used as educational workshops and the construction would have no effect externally on the buildings' frontages, but would involve some internal upgrading. The new extension will be the focal point for what developers have called a new ‘business club/hub’.
