Green light for new Beeston residential scheme

Developer Charterpoint has secured planning permission for a development of one-bedroom apartments in Beeston, Nottingham.

The two/three-storey scheme, on the corner of Queens Road and Hawthorn Grove, will bring forward nine apartments

Director of Edwalton-based Charterpoint, Giles Nursey, said: “This is a great location with facilities such as shops, food outlets and transport opportunities on the doorstep. We are pleased that this development by Charterpoint will help to provide much-needed housing in Beeston that will suit young professionals, first-time buyers and others.

“This is the latest in a number of projects that Charterpoint has developed in Beeston and we look forward to seeing it come to fruition.”

The scheme, designed by West Bridgford-based Swish Architecture, includes covered car parking, internal and external cycle storage.

Broxtowe Borough Council granted approval for the development, stating in a report to councillors that: “The benefits of the proposal are that it would provide nine additional homes within an existing urban area and would support short term benefits such as jobs during the construction of the proposed dwellings and would be in accordance with policies contained within the development plan.”

The site is currently used as a car sales business.
