Scaled-down Trent Basin housing plan wins approval

PLANS for family homes on the banks of the River Trent have been given the green light - but there are fears parking could prove a problem.

Blueprint, which is part-owned by Nottingham City Council, had been looking to build 111 houses and apartments at Trent Basin as part of the continued redevelopment of the area.

Plans have been revised to reduce the number of properties to 79, get rid of a proposed multi-storey car park and shift the focus to family housing.

The previous scheme, approved in 2023, was for a mix of 58 family houses and 52 maisonettes, but the developer has since changed it to a scheme comprised entirely of family-sized homes.

Councillors unanimously approved the proposals on Wednesday.

Councillor Pavlos Kotsonis (Lab) said: “It addresses one of the key issues in Nottingham, the fact that diversity in terms of housing units isn’t there.”
