Fire crews were at the scene overnight and an investigation will begin today.
Plans to demolish The Bakersfield Public House on Oakdale Road are scheduled to come before the Nottingham City Council planning committee on 18 September 2024.
The plans have been recommended for approval, but may still be refused when voted on at a planning committee meeting.
Plans submitted by Hockley Developments, include the construction of 13 houses and eight supported living apartments following the demolition of the long-standing but now vacant pub.

‘We currently have six appliances plus the Aerial Ladder Platform in attendance at a fire in Sneinton.
‘If you are in the area, and can smell or see smoke, we advise keeping your doors and windows closed.’
In an update at 7 am on Thursday 12 September the service said:
‘Update Fire crews continued to extinguish the fire until late last night. There will be an investigation starting today, which will look into the cause of the fire.
Thank you to the local community for their patience whilst we dealt with the incident.’
