Plans for a new student accommodation scheme at 265 Ilkeston Road, Nottingham, have been submitted to the city council.
The proposed development, which will be operated by South Park Road II Limited, would create a six-storey building with 141 bed spaces in 27 five- and one 6-person cluster apartments.
A communal lounge, courtyard garden, concierge & management office, laundry, and bike store would also be provided.
The existing buildings on the site, most recently used as a bathroom showroom, would be demolished to make way for the scheme.
A design statement says: “Located in the Lenton area of Nottingham, the proposed development is within easy walking distance of the universities and will provide a unique and vibrant new student development.
“The proposed contemporary building will create a new focal point at the junction of two key access roads, complementing the surrounding developments and further enhancing the student offerings in Nottingham.
“The site is currently occupied by vacant and neglected buildings, which has a negative impact on the surrounding area. The proposed scheme reinstates the historic street pattern, frames views along Ilkeston Road and creates active frontages to the surrounding streets.
“The architecture makes reference to the existing architectural style along Ilkeston Road, respecting the setting of the adjacent assets. The proposed development will provide 141 bedroom spaces with excellent space and amenity standards.”
