Changes made, now tower block is tipped for approval

REVISED PLANS SEE DESIGN REDUCED TO 18 STOREYS
A NEW Nottingham tower block up to 18 storeys high is tipped for approval after the developer made changes.
MRP Nottingham Ltd had been planning to build a 22-storey block at the junction of Queen’s Road and London Road, where a number of commercial units have been demolished. It was to go hand-in-hand with a 12-storey block, purpose built for 406 students, before Nottingham councillors deferred the plans at a planning committee meeting in October 2022 due to design concerns.
After making amendments, the developer resubmitted its plans for the student block on its own, and permission for the purpose-built student accommodation (PBSA) block was granted in December 2023. This scheme, called The Place, is now complete and in use.
Revised plans for the second phase for the site were submitted in April last year, and have now been recommended for approval at a Nottingham City Council Planning Committee meeting on Wednesday.
