Former friary in St Ann’s to be converted into homeless accommodation

Plans to turn a former friary in St Ann’s into accommodation for the homeless have again been given the go ahead by a planning committee after “errors of fact” were found. Charity Emmanuel House’s proposal to convert the Franciscan Friary in Gordon Road, Thorneywood, into accommodation for seven people who are homeless was given the green light in February.

Approval was granted despite significant opposition to the proposals, although some people living locally also wrote in support of the plan. However, following the granting of planning consent, “errors of fact” came to light in the application, new council reports show. Further representations against the plans were also received. During a Nottingham City Council Planning Committee meeting on Wednesday, March 20, the corrected plans were again approved after a debate. It was not revealed during the meeting specifically what the errors were or who had made them. Making representations before the debate, St Ann’s ward councillor Corall Jenkins (Lab) said a material factor in the reports had been wrong. “It is questionable if satisfactory accommodation can be achieved,” she said. “We have seen since this last meeting a number of residents sitting outside on the streets, who are going to take up occupation there potentially, whilst residents are taking their young children to school. “It is the view that although assisted support will be indoors, nothing will be available outdoor
