Nottingham councillors have delayed their decision to approve a new apartment block and a number of houses over money concerns. Plans for the vacant site next to a tower block in Sneinton have been a long time coming and a developer was hoping to move forward after a period of dormancy until it deemed building on the site to be "technically unviable."
The Burrows Court 19-storey tower, off Windmill Lane, was built in 1967 and underwent a surprise refurbishment in 2019 as part of the first phase of the regeneration of the area. Initial improvement works were approved in 2013, and the second phase of the development was to build a new apartment block and homes on the surrounding land.
Plans submitted on behalf of developer Landmark Capital Investment had been recommended by planning officers to be approved by councillors at the next Nottingham City Council planning committee meeting. The meeting took place on Wednesday, April 20, but the final approval was postponed over a number of issues.
