Plans for a new Purpose Built Student Accommodation (PBSA) scheme in Nottingham, at 2 Queens Road, have been approved.
The application, by CMPG on behalf of Zen Nottingham, involves a building reaching up to six and nine storeys. The scheme would comprise 31 studios and 50 cluster beds. The cluster beds would be provided as 10 five bed cluster flats.
On the ground floor, communal space, a laundry room, plant rooms, and bin store are planned. To the eastern side of the building a service yard is proposed which would include
temporary parking spaces for loading and unloading, as well as a cycle store.
A patio area would be provided to the rear of the site and an outdoor roof terrace is also proposed.
Currently, the application site is partially occupied by a vacant, two-storey building which was originally a cinema auditorium.
Planning permission was previously granted for the erection of a nine and six storey building to provide 39 apartments and two ancillary commercial units at the site. The new PBSA scheme is largely the same, but now proposes student accommodation in place of apartments and removes the ground floor commercial units.
