An independent homelessness charity has received planning permission to change the use of its city centre premises. Nottingham City Council have granted Emmanuel House Support Centre permission to create 20 bedrooms across the first and second floors of its premises on Goose Gate, Hockley.
These bedrooms will provide short-term emergency accommodation for people who find themselves homeless. Whilst changes will be made on the two floors to convert them into bedrooms, the ground floor will continue to provide day support.
Phase one of the development will begin in the coming months, with the first part of the development to include the replacement of the support centre's existing windows to double-glazed aluminium windows. This will not only improve the thermal performance, but the appearance of the building.
