Conservationists fear much of Nottingham's history is 'disappearing' after a 900-bed student scheme on the site of historic civic buildings and cave chambers was tipped for approval by city planners. Developers Miller Birch Limited have proposed to demolish the former Nottingham city central police and fire station, which fronts Shakespeare Street, North Church Street and South Sherwood Street, to pave the way for student accommodation.

You have got the YMCA at the end of Shakespeare Street which is of the same vintage, done by Cecil Howitt, and you have the listed Arkwright Building the opposing side.
"It is a very important building. We accept that things are going to be adapted, but so much of Nottingham is just disappearing. It is worrying." The location for the pile is understood to be 'acceptable', documents say, but concern remains over the impact on the surrounding rock when works take place. Historic England and the Nottingham Civic Society have both objected to the demolition of the buildings and say the cave chambers are 'nationally significant'.
