Neighbours have voiced concerns that plans for a city road where 'a lot of people are moving in' could worsen parking issues. A large extension at the back of three properties on Colwick Road, Sneinton would be used to form a 30-bed house in multiple occupation for students, if approved by Nottingham City Council.
A three-storey block would be built behind three occupied homes neighbouring St Christopher's Church under the plans which have been put forward by The Student Lodge. But neighbours were unsure on how the proposals would affect parking on the busy road.
David Needham, 66, who is retired and lives off Colwick Road, said the area had seen a lot of growth and was experiencing parking issues. "There would just not be enough room for that from what I can see. It seems a lot of people are moving into the area at the moment - it is quite a diverse community.
