Plans to sensitively regenerate Hanson House and the adjoining Big City Tyres site in Nottingham city centre have been unveiled, setting out proposals to bring the derelict side back into use as purpose-built student accommodation.
Brought forward by developers Peveril Securities and Sladen Estates, the scheme has been designed to respond sensitively to its prominent location close to the Broadmarsh regeneration area. The existing buildings are in poor structural condition, with independent assessments confirming that retention is not viable.
The proposals would deliver around 329 new student bedrooms, predominantly self-contained studios. Residents will also benefit from shared amenities, including study and quiet rooms, social lounges, exercise space, cinema rooms and an enclosed roof terrace.
Rachel Wood, managing director at Sladen Estates, said: “This project gives us the opportunity to reimagine Hanson House and bring new life to a prominent city centre site. The existing building is in poor structural condition and these proposals represent a chance to deliver a development that contributes positively to Nottingham’s future by helping to kickstart regeneration across the wider Broadmarsh area.
“Our ambition is to deliver a well-designed, well-connected scheme that goes above and beyond to provide everything a modern-day student needs – combining high-quality living spaces with dedicated study areas and social amenities that support wellbeing and community life. Working closely with stakeholders, we’ve shaped proposals that reflect the site’s context while supporting the city’s wider ambition for growth and renewal.”
A public consultation will take place on Wednesday 22nd October, from 4.00pm to 7.00pm at Nottingham Central Library, where feedback can be provided ahead of the submission of a planning application to Nottingham City Council.
