Plans for new student accommodation on Nottingham’s Castle Boulevard have been submitted to the city council, helping serve the new University of Nottingham Castle
Meadow Campus.
The development site is bound by Fishpond Drive to the north, an unoccupied commercial building to the west and car-parking to the east. The site is currently occupied by Zoo Interiors, a showroom selling home furniture.
Castle Park View Ltd are behind the plans, designed by Franklin Ellis Architects, which will see the construction of purpose built student accommodation through the demolition of the
existing showroom with retention of the original facade of Dominion House to Castle Boulevard, 49 and 51 Fishpond Drive.
The proposed development consists of three elements: purpose built student accommodation, providing a total of 137 new student accommodation beds (122
cluster beds and 15 studio beds), the retention of the existing house 49/51 Fishpond Drive, providing a total of 4 beds, and two ground floor commercial units
Amenity areas are also planned for residents to socialise and study. Bike and refuse storage, laundry, toilets and plant rooms are situated in the centre of the development.
