Former nursing home to be flats after appeal succeeds
Nottingham Post
|April 19, 2025
PLANS WERE ORIGINALLY REJECTED BY COUNCIL OVER LACK OF PARKING SPACES
A FORMER nursing home will be turned into flats after a council initially refused the plans.
Government inspectors sided with Waseem Shafiq, after he appealed against Gedling Borough Council's decision to refuse his application to convert Ernehale Lodge Nursing Home in Furlong Street into 19 apartments.
The decision was taken on September 26 last year and was based on limited car parking spaces.
This was because the plans proposed 13 spaces, short of the council's requirement of 16.
Waseem Shafiq submitted an appeal against the decision in October 2024. The council has now given approval after the planning inspectorate sided with the applicant.
