350 apartment scheme in Nottingham moves step closer

Long-awaited plans to build a new 350-apartment residential in Nottingham city centre have moved a step closer after its developer applied to clear some of the conditions associated with its initial plans.

The Cassidy Property Group is behind the plans to develop the scheme on the site of the former Hicking Pentecost on Crocus Street in the city, just off the busy London Road, and opposite the huge Hicking Building residential development.

The plans show a building consisting of eight floors to be designed by Nottingham-based Maber.

Plans show that there will 106 parking spaces along with 112 bicycle slots on the ground floor towards the rear, with open spaces for residents sitting on top of this acting as a podium. Opening out onto the open-spaced podium are personal gardens for residents on the 2nd spilling out onto the podium; making further use of outdoor space where possible.

The scheme was first given the go-ahead in 2011 after the planning application was granted permission at appeal. The site is owned by Godwin Developments and sits in the Southside Regeneration area of Nottingham.
