Plans in to bring new life to college site with residential scheme

Plans to bring new life to a former college site in Nottingham have been submitted to the city council.

55 homes would be created on the Castle College site on Carlton Road, with Keepmoat Homes behind the proposals.

The new scheme would include detached and semi detached houses, and up to four storey apartment blocks. Eight one bed, 24 two bed, and 23 three bed homes would be provided.

The college was demolished around 2009 and the site allocated for residential development. Previously the land held a brick works and clay pit.

A planning statement says: “The proposal includes the redevelopment of the site with a scheme for 55 dwellings including demolition of the existing building and hardstanding, upgrading the existing access, new drainage and highways infrastructure, substation and open space.

“The proposals will provide much needed homes including family homes on an underused, previously developed site that will support the Government’s objective of significantly boosting the supply of housing.

“The proposals have been informed by a full range of supporting technical reports, which confirm that there are no significant adverse impacts that cannot be mitigated.”
