Clifton neighbours say plans to develop a former college site in the village will bring "more opportunities" to the area. Nottingham Community Housing Association are the new owners of the old college site on Farnborough Road, where they plan to build 50 apartments for older people, 14 apartments for supported living, six bungalows for supported living, a new headquarters for the NCHA and retained sporting facilities.
It is believed that the mixed-use development will be ready to open next year. The site is being designed by the group's in-house architects Pelham, and they plan to keep the existing sports facilities, which includes a gym, changing rooms and football pitches, with a new office, cafe and residential buildings on the site.
There will also be enough car parking spaces for 185 cars, which includes electric charge points and up to 30 cycle stores. The NCHA claim that the development will create job opportunities, support local sports clubs and provide an energy efficient development where people can live and work.
