en.Wedoany.com Reported - The plan to convert the former Nottingham Central Library in the UK into student accommodation is moving forward. Nottingham City Council's Planning Committee will convene a meeting on May 20 to review the proposal, and the committee report has already recommended approval of the student accommodation scheme.

The property, located on Angel Row, has been used as a library since 1977, with the building itself constructed between 1898 and 1899. Harrington Student Ltd proposes to convert the site into a four-storey, 162-unit student accommodation, comprising 128 cluster bedrooms and 34 studio apartments. The ground floor will also feature two retail units and a hot food takeaway.

The committee report notes that the student accommodation proposal will achieve "the reuse and refurbishment of a large building in the city centre that has been vacant for many years," and that the commercial units "help maintain street-level activity, vibrancy, and natural surveillance." The building has remained empty since the library relocated to the new Central Library in the Broadmarsh Centre.
