Summary:
- Developer Code Students has appealed Nottingham City Council’s refusal of a 1,252-bed PBSA scheme on Glasshouse Street, proposing two towers including the city’s largest building on a long-vacant brownfield site near Victoria Shopping Centre.
- The council rejected the plan citing concerns over a 100% studio unit mix amid rising vacancy rates and criticised the design as lacking local character and failing tall building standards, claims Code disputes in its appeal.
- Code argues the development would unlock significant economic and regeneration benefits, support student housing demand, and free up general housing stock, with a Planning Inspectorate enquiry scheduled early next year to decide the scheme’s future.
