The move will be welcomed by many neighbours
A plan to try to control the amount of high-rise student accommodation being built in a part of Nottingham has been adopted by the city council amid concerns a ‘monolithic’ barrier could split the area in two. The authority has drawn up what’s known as a ‘Supplementary Planning Document’, or SPD, to provide housing developers with clear guidance on what the authority expects in the Eastside.
Today it is a centre for creative, independent businesses, but some of those living and working in the area have raised concerns at the number of purpose-built student accommodation schemes springing up in the area. A public consultation held in 2021 attracted comments from a number of people saying they were worried taller buildings could act as a wall or barrier between the city centre and the east.
Council data shows more than 50 per cent of all residential spaces in the area are for students. Some new schemes are already under way, including the building of a 13-storey block in Bath Street on the site of the former Royal Mail sorting office. The SPD says: “Since 2004 there has been a development of larger buildings both in height and urban grain, particularly on Huntingdon Street in the form of Marco Island, Glasshouse and Litmus Building. “The scale and grouping of these buildings along with the Victoria Centre flats has created the impression of a wall being formed between the city centre and adjoining neighbourhoods when viewed from the east of the city.
