A wide-range of projects were applied for and given the go-ahead last week in Nottingham. Various plans submitted to Nottingham City Council made progress in the week ending May 20.
The two most significant were the demolition of city businesses for hundreds of flats being decided on and the closure of a suburb's bank receiving the green light. Elsewhere, new plans were put forward for one of the city's oldest pubs.
Meanwhile, developers submitted a student plan for a towering office block in the heart of Nottingham city centre. A community centre also got permission to grow, despite parking concerns from neighbours.
