Plans for a major mixed-use scheme on Alfreton Road, Nottingham, have been submitted to the city council.
Olympian Homes is seeking Full Planning Permission to create 790 student bedspaces in 344 houses, studios, and cluster flats, along with leisure and retail facilities, and 68 residential apartments comprising 19 one-bedroom apartments, 44 two-bedroom apartments and 5 two-bedroom townhouse apartments.
The development would be placed on the site that was historically home to Forest Mill, a large lace factory established in 1840.
A planning statement notes: “The Mill remained open and trading until the 1950s, however, following closure the site stood empty for decades and along with a more contemporary office block to the north east corner of the site, fell into a derelict, unsightly and deleterious state of repair. The last of the Mill buildings were finally demolished in 2012 and the remaining section of office accommodation in 2020.”
The site has been acquired by the applicant.
The new development could reach up to eight storeys.
