RESIDENTIAL
Historic Nottingham cinema to be converted into city centre apartments
Designed by local fi rm CBP architects, the Grade II-listed Picture House building in Long Row, Nottingham will be given a new lease of life after receiving planning permission for its conversion into nine, one and two-bedroom fl ats at the heart of the city – with the help of heritage specialists at Nottingham planning consultancy Marrons.
Market Square Developments will be funding the conversion of the self- contained fl ats, which will include subdivision of the old main auditorium, the conversion of the fi rst, second and third fl oors of the front section of the
building, and the conversion of the original projection room and reel store. Previously dubbed the “most luxurious cinema in Nottingham” the building – which ceased being a cinema in 1930 – has seen a variety of occupants, including an arcade, a nightclub, and various retailers. A betting shop currently occupies the ground fl oor, while the upper fl oors have lain empty and unused for the past decade.
The apartments are due to commence refurbishment this month and will be brought to the market to sell in January 2024.
It added: “Sustainability is integral to studioNWA, adding value and demonstrating a commitment to tackling climate change and caring for the communities it operates in.” Its ISO 14001 certifi cation, BREEAM / LEED knowledge,
and carbon management tools “provide a solid base from which to advise clients on the most sustainable options.” The practice said it is also “committed to forming partnerships and sharing research and knowledge more widely.”
