People living in Beeston have hit out at plans for an eight-storey student accommodation block after it was recommended for approval. Some residents said instead of giving a the new building at the car park in Station Road the go-ahead, authorities should concentrate on providing properties for people who "need it the most".
Plans put forward by Cassidy Group would see the 419-bed development become the tallest building in Beeston. The ground floor would have a commercial use and a car park would be created.
Michael Allen, a 57-year-old landscape gardener, said he did not agree with the proposals. "It's too many," he told Nottinghamshire Live. "I know we have to have them somewhere but why don't they think about the homeless? I used to be homeless, I just got my own place.
