New flats are planned above a Nottingham street that is 'getting better' and is filled with pricey shops and artwork. Offices and storage space above Bridlesmith Gate's Joules branch could be transformed into four studio slats and two cluster flats, totalling 19 bed spaces, if planning permission is granted by Nottingham City Council.
Bridlesmith Gate, which is home to brands like BOSS, Ted Baker, and Joules, has been bolstered recently by an influx of new shops and colourful artwork. Locals thought the new flats were another reasonable addition to the trendy city centre street.
Amy Reece, 21, who lives in the city centre. She said: “I think Bridlesmith Gate is getting better, I know that the artwork was added to improve footfall and you can only assume flats here would help that.”
