A developer is seeking to move forward with plans to build 15 new homes and an apartment block on land surrounding a towerblock in Sneinton that was previously described as looking like a 'derelict prison block' when it was empty. Plans to develop sprawling land around Burrows Court were first proposed more than a decade ago but have never fully progressed.
Burrows Court, built in 1967, underwent refurbishment a number of years ago. It is a huge, 19-storey block with 130 flats and the initial tower block improvements - which mark the first phase of the site's redevelopment - were given the green light in 2013.
But in 2019, work on the refurbishment was said to have stopped. But neighbours of Burrows Court, in Windmill Lane, were left surprised when all of a sudden the existing block appeared to 'spring' to life and people started to move in late last year.
