A substantial c.1 acre freehold site in Nottingham city fringe offering c.27,852 sq ft gross internal area and clear redevelopment potential. The council has given positive pre-application advice supportive of residential or PBSA conversion (subject to planning), making this a strong land-led opportunity for residential developers or institutional investors targeting student accommodation.
The site combines city-centre accessibility with practical site features: gated sole access from Traffic Street, an enclosed central yard, and approximately 17 rear car parking spaces. It sits a short walk from Nottingham railway station and close to tram routes, local retail parks and a wide range of city-centre amenities — attributes that strengthen lettability and future residential demand.
Buyers should note material constraints that will affect development cost and programme. The plot is within a historically industrial area, adjacent to railway lines, and comprises 1900s frontage buildings with later 1960s additions; contamination remediation, structural alteration or demolition works are likely. The locality records very high crime levels and very high area deprivation, and broadband speeds are very slow — all factors to weigh into viability, design and management strategies.
Offered with vacant possession and multiple freehold titles, the site suits investors and developers able to manage site assembly, remediation and the planning process. The combination of size, central location and positive council guidance presents a rare regeneration-led prospect in Nottingham, provided buyers budget for remediation, security-focused design and potential infrastructure upgrades.
