The manager at the only Hooters in the UK is eagerly anticipating the continued redevelopment of Nottingham's southside as plans are lodged for three new apartment buildings opposite the popular American sports-bar and restaurant. New details of proposals to bulldoze several businesses opposite Hooters and replace them with hundreds of flats came to light in April.
Three blocks would be built at the junction of London Road and Queens Road on a site which is situated within the Nottingham Station Conservation Area. It is currently inhabited by a number of business outlets including United Carpets, used-car sellers NottinghamCar.com and Magpie Security.
The plans, drawn up by Consarc Design Group Limited on behalf of ES Nottingham, reveal the proposed development of 82 apartments, on top of 163 apartments with gym, cycle facilities and a private rooftop terrace. A third tower would contain 406 student apartments with facilities such as communal lounge, study areas, cycle storage and a laundry.
