A commercial building in Lenton could be knocked down so a 169-bed student development can be built close to the University of Nottingham campus. Plans have been submitted to Nottingham City Council to transform the site, a large single storey building sub-divided into two units which front onto Triumph Road.
One is occupied by a yoga studio and cafe and the other is a car dealership. Developers want to demolish the existing buildings in favour of a purpose-built student accommodation block with 169 student bedrooms, made up of cluster flats and studios.
There will also be 76 cycle spaces and four car parking spaces for management staff and the disabled. Planning officers at Nottingham City Council have recommended the plans be approved, but councillors will decide the final fate of the application when they meet on Wednesday, May 18. Applicants DPP Planning on behalf of Cassidy (Triumph Road) Ltd have submitted the application.
