A 140-year-old Nottinghamshire church building could be transformed into student accommodation. The former Methodist Church on Wollaton Road in Beeston could be turned into nine cluster flats, hosting 36 bedrooms for students, if approved by Broxtowe Borough Council.
The proposals would see the rear part of the building demolished, including the main lobby entrance, multi-purpose room, kitchen and WC facilities, with this section replaced by a three-storey extension. Three flats would be inside the existing church building, with the other six inside the extension.
Beeston Methodist Church became one church in September 2014, bringing together Chilwell Road Church, Clarke’s Lane Church, Inham Nook Church, Queen’s Road Church and the application site on Wollaton Road. The church started worshipping together for all services from March 2016, with the final services held at Wollaton Road in May 2019 before the building was sold.
