A purpose-built student accommodation scheme in the centre of Nottingham has been given planning permission by the city’s planning committee. 

Peveril Securities and PMI Developments are working with Nottingham-headquartered CPMG Architects to help meet the needs of a growing student population through the creation of a residential site consisting of 37 shared cluster flats and 50 studios – equating to a total of 247 rooms across sections ranging from three to nine storeys. 

Originally proposed in spring 2022, the scheme located on Glasshouse Street in the Eastside area of Nottingham has been adapted through close collaboration between the project team and Nottingham City Council.

Chris White, director at CPMG, has led on the project since its inception.

He said: “Throughout the design process, we’ve incorporated lots of feedback from various interested parties, while maintaining PMI Developments’ commitment to creating a high-quality offering which contributes to revitalisation of the Eastside.

“The result is much-needed student accommodation that will improve the student experience while also supporting the local economy in Nottingham.

“This is the third project we have worked on with PMI, strengthening the successful working relationship between us and creating more impactful outcomes. We’re excited to see our shared vision come to life, enabling students to join us in calling Nottingham their home.” 

The site, which sits at the junction of Glasshouse Street, Rick Street and Howard Street, is currently occupied by a single storey industrial building and has been identified as a redevelopment opportunity to help reduce student demand for surrounding homes.
