A pub could soon be transformed into a dozens of student studio apartments. Plans were recently submitted to convert and extend the former Cricket Players Pub in Radford Road, Hyson Green into a five-storey building that would provide 50 studio flats and four retail units.
The existing building, which is on the council’s Local List of heritage assets will be retained, with the removal of the single storey elements and the preservation of the feature brickwork planned. Developers have said that there is seems no need to provide parking due to presence of the Hyson Green Market is a tram stop immediately outside.
The site is currently used by a car washing business and hosts Hyson Green Market stalls on its car park. Amir Javidani, 43, who has based his business on the pub's car park since 2014, said that he did not yet know when he would have to move.
