Plans have been submitted for significant changes to a former hotel. The three-storey former Clarence Hotel which fronts onto Alfreton Road, Radford, is now occupied as a large HMO (house in multiple occupation), with vacant outbuildings to the back which front onto Palin Street.
Plans have been submitted to allow the applicant to complete works that would turn outbuildings into seven extra bedrooms. Planning permission was granted in 2015 to add rear dormers to the building, which would provide six additional rooms in the roof space, and changes to the outbuildings to create five extra bedrooms.
Work started on the alterations in September 2017 but these have not yet been completed and the building is not yet occupied. The council then advised a new planning application was required due to the ongoing works being different from the approved plans.

Retrospective planning permission was granted in 2019 to change the hotel to a 25-bed HMO with some short-stay and emergency accommodation. The main changes between the approved plans and the as-built scheme are the use of some different materials and the internal layout.
As shown by the fresh plans, the additional floor space would be seven bedrooms compared to the approved plan's five bedrooms. The application, submitted by Warjinder Khamba, is pending consideration by Nottingham City Council.
