Major Nottingham residential scheme to be given green light
Council planning chiefs are set to give the go-ahead to for a huge Nottingham city centre residential development this week.
On Wednesday, Nottingham City Council Planning Committee will recommend that a new 350-apartment residential development on Crocus Street gets the green light.
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.
As part of the scheme being granted planning permission, Caassidy will have to pay almost £130,000 as part of a S106 agreement. The money will be spent on a public open space and education.
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.
