One shopper said the plans could make the town more modern
A new plan will add to the 'younger feel' being brought to a Nottinghamshire high street, according to shoppers. The latest change to Arnold's town centre, a planned conversion of an unused Front Street storage building into new apartments, was granted planning permission at Gedling Borough Council's planning committee on February 22.
Sarah Robert, 49, from Arnold, said: “It’s making Arnold feel younger. I love the high street but sometimes it feels run down. I love it here so I do want to see it being pushed forwards and effort being made to make it a bit more modern. Jenny Gray, 42, a store manager, said: “When I first started hearing about things changing I wasn’t a fan, but that’s because I’ve been living in Arnold for over 20 years and I like the way things are. But I’ve come around to the new market and the idea of new places opening, I don’t think flats is a bad idea at all.
A report submitted by a Gedling Borough Council planning officer, which recommended councillors give approval to the project, said: "The layout, design and appearance of the proposed extension is considered acceptable. This together with the proposed use of the building as residential units would not be considered to be detrimental to vitality or viability of the Shopping Area, the amenity of neighbouring buildings, future occupiers of the building nor to parking or highway safety.
