A 17-storey tower of student flats which will be seen from Nottingham Castle has been given the green light, despite objections from one of the city's universities. Nottingham City Council planners agonised over whether the building was too tall, and whether the student housing market was becoming saturated, before granting it permission.
He added: “The number of students is in decline. I wonder whether their business model is pushing higher than it needs to be. However, having students in the city is an export – we are selling education. Students are keeping city centre retail going.” Councillor Kirsty Jones said: “I’m not squeamish about the height, and we really need residential accommodation of any type.”
