A three-storey block of flats could be built in Beeston on a vacant car park in the town.
Broxtowe Borough Council has received an application for 10 one-bedroom homes on Middleton Street.
Applicant Paul Landa of DSL Holdings Ltd wants to turn the site, which once housed lock-up garages before being turned into a car park, into new homes.
The development would “target students and young professionals” who they say would “bring further value to the local area”.
Council officers said the site has previously been granted outline permission for four homes, and the principle of residential development on the site “is considered acceptable”.
None of the homes on offer will be affordable housing – as the local plan stipulates it is not necessary to provide it on sites where there are more than 10 dwellings.
The homes would have open plan kitchen and living areas, bathrooms and off road parking and cycle storage.
Ten parking spaces will be provided, with two spaces providing charging points.
Documents with the application stated: “The site is currently vacant having previously been used as car garages / lock ups and more recently a car park.
“The application site lies to the south west of the city centre and is strategic in terms of the opportunity it represents to add to and enhance the core activities of the wider city and its universities.
“The area itself is popular with students and young professionals and the proposed development should target those individuals in order to bring further value to the local area.
“The proposed development contains 10no. one bedroom apartments. This is considered to be appropriate for the area, which has become increasingly popular with students and young professionals given its proximity to the University of Nottingham and the city centre.”
