Plans to build a block of flats behind a Nottingham pub have been approved by the council.
The Labour-run authority has given the go-ahead to construct a four-storey block of flats at the rear yard of the Vine Inn, on the corner of Handel Street and Liverpool Street.
Applicant Dale Insurance Underwriting Services Limited submitted a planning application for the site in October 2024 to construct the flats.
Nottingham City Council approved the plans on Friday, May 16.
The planning documents state the construction would follow the demolition of the vacant outbuilding and walls.
Under the plans, a four-storey block of flats will be built in the yard to the rear of the pub.
There will be seven self-contained flats in the premises with one bedroom flats on the first, ground and second floors.
The fourth floor will have a two bedroom flat.
Documents read: “Planning permission is sought for the erection of a new 4 storey building providing 7 self-contained flats, in the yard to the rear of the public house following the demolition of the existing outbuilding and boundary wall.
“The building would stand on the corner of the plot, extending up to the site
boundaries on Ashley Street and Liverpool Street, and would be of predominantly of brick construction.
“The fourth storey would be set back and would be finished with metal cladding.
“The design has been amended to address initial concerns about the design of the building.
“The amended scheme proposes a building which would be of a similar height, mass and architectural style to that of the building on the opposite side of Ashley Street (Roden House), incorporating curved brickwork on the corner to mirror that of the Public House building.
“The design detail has been enhanced through the introduction of brick string courses to the main entrance and the windows.
“The roof has been simplified to avoid multiple roof slopes.
“The proposed ground, first and second floors would each provide 2 x one bedroom flats and the fourth floor would provide a two bedroom flat.
“All flats would comply with Nationally Described Space Standards.”
