The building was sold by Nottingham City Council back in 2018
The transformation of an old school site in Nottingham into student accommodation has been given the green light for the second time after a new operator decided to increase the number of bed spaces to 176. Radford Board School, in Ilkeston Road, was built in 1885 by George Thomas Hine.
In December 2021 a developer was given permission to convert a large section of the site into student accommodation, while a 1930s extension facing Stanfield Street was to be demolished to make way for a new five-storey wing. “The former school was last used as the Radford Unity Centre by the City Council, but has been vacant for some years and internally is in a poor state of disrepair.According to the applicant, Cross Country Partners And Ilkeston Ltd, a number of changes have been made to allow for the increase in number of bed spaces.
“Accommodation is proposed in the extensive existing roof spaces of the existing building. The lower ground and basement cluster bed spaces have been removed along with the dedicated external light-wells.“The internal amenity space is also increased to accommodate additional quiet study areas and syndicate rooms across a variety of spaces some of which are set away from the common room.
