A takeaway which was due to become student accommodation will remain after proposals were withdrawn. A proposal to turn Dixy Chicken on Alfreton Road, Radford, into a 25 bedroom student block was withdrawn by the developer on March 15.
The plans comprised a 5 storey tower along with shared reception and laundry spaces, which would have resulted in the takeaway having to vacate the site. The building, on the corner of Forest Road West, used to house the former Forest Inn.
The owner of the restaurant, Mohammed Ishaq, had previously said that the plan if approved would put him "out of business". He also expressed worries about how employees would provide for their families and that he would not be able to find another job.
