The building has been left derelict
Nottingham city centre shoppers are sceptical about the idea that a 'hideous' former Nottingham department store and restaurant - which fell into disrepair - could soon become student accommodation. Kexgill Limited has submitted plans to convert the mid-20th Century ‘Antibo’ building, in Lower Parliament Street, into 49 student flats via an upwards extension.
"That's my two cents. Well I think we already have enough student flat developments across the city. Well we always have too many going on. But I also don't think it's the right location for it. Following the closure of the buffet restaurant the building was left derelict and became a hotspot for anti-social behaviour and break-ins, leading at one point to an illegal cannabis grow, planning reports say. It was subsequently put up for sale for £1.4million.
