A developer is looking to convert office space above an old Aldi supermarket in Nottingham into a recreational area for students. The supermarket had operated on the ground floor of The Glasshouse, in Huntingdon Street, before it closed in August 2021.
Above the former supermarket is office space on the first floor, which has been up for lease for £105,000 per year. Developer Inspired Projects is now seeking permission for a change of use for this area from Nottingham City Council.
Planning documents say Inspired Projects is looking for a change of use “from commercial use (Class E) to student recreational and social facilities”. There are more than 1,500 students living in the immediate vicinity, including in The Glasshouse.
