Turkish Baths in Sneinton to be demolished

 Update This news item is to feature in the Evening Post on Friday

Plans by Nottingham Developer Blueprint to regenerate the Bath Street Area of the city took a step closer this month after Nottingham City Council applied for planning permission on 7^th January to demolish the old Turkish Baths building at the side of the Victoria leisure centre shown above. 

The planning application Ref is 13/00021/LNCAC

Once demolition has taken place in the spring, the proposal is for 17 units, including 13 houses and 4 flats to be built on the land, all of which will be for sale. These houses are built around a courtyard and include houses facing onto Bath Street, and a new link route to be built between Bath Street and Brook Street. This artist impression shows the same view of the Turkish baths site as seen in the above photographs.

In November 2007 Nottingham Regeneration Limited, in partnership with Nottingham City Council and Developer Blueprint, commissioned a team lead by Gehl Architects to produce a Neighbourhood Development Plan centred on Sneinton Market and a wider area identified as the Eastside 'Gateway' in to the City Centre.

The project Board drew up imaginative plans that aim to regenerate the Bath Street area of the city, and the former Nottingham City Transport bus depot site near the Ice Arena.

Nottingham Regeneration Limited (NRL) was responsible for delivering the new £9m Victoria Leisure Centre, and Sneinton Square Scheme, which opened in March 2012.
