Hundreds of flats will be built reaching up 22-storeys high in a huge redevelopment of land off Queen's Road
A 'dominating' 22-storey tower could soon be constructed as part of a huge city redevelopment. Hundreds of flats will be built reaching up 22-storeys high in a huge redevelopment of land off Queen's Road in Nottingham city centre, if Nottingham City Council's planning committee grants permission for the project on October 19.
Hilary Silvester, executive chair of the Nottingham Civic Society, said: "It seems to be just shorter than the Victoria Centre flats, it's extremely tall and would dominate the entire street scape. It's close the listed Railway Station so they'll be an impact on that and it could affect the view of Nottingham Castle, they've built those other tall things - but they've not been 22-storeys.
A spokesperson for developer MRP said: “We are pleased that our application is recommended for approval and scheduled to appear before the planning committee next week. This marks the culmination of a comprehensive planning process, which included positive partnership and collaboration with a range of stakeholders and significant public consultation. If approved this will be a very positive addition to the Nottingham student and residential sectors.
But others argued the large development would provide housing and continue investment into the southside of Nottingham. Jez Poyser, 46, who runs the Porco food stall in Sneinton Market and lives in Lady Bay, said: "I'm generally in favour of it, I do not see a probably with building it here, it's a busy city area not somewhere rural.
“The Unity Square development has been at the pinnacle of this transformation by repurposing derelict land into high-quality offices, and we are now seeing the domino effect of this investment with further construction projects.
