Long-awaited plans for the redevelopment of land surrounding a 19-storey tower block in Sneinton have been approved, leading to hope from residents that the area will be 'more attractive'. Five years after an application was first submitted to Nottingham City Council, 15 houses and a block of 41 flats look set to be built in land off Burrows Court.
The proposals put forward by Landmark Capital Investment have been knocked back on numerous occasions over issues with the Section 106 funding, which is used to mitigate impacts on the local community. The plans now state the developer would be asked for £182,000 in contributions if the plans are approved, including £136,234 towards affordable housing and £14,700 towards education.
The proposals, which were rubber stamped at the city council's planning committee on Wednesday, June 22, follow the recent renovation of the 130-flat Burrows Court tower block. The new dwellings will be built around the 19-storey tower off Windmill Lane.
