Terraces and student areas
Lenton, Radford and Forest Fields have many Victorian terraces, a lot of them let to students or sharers. A cat flap in the back door is usually straightforward, but you'll need your landlord's written permission first.
The Park Estate
The Park, next to Nottingham Castle, is a private estate and conservation area with many large Victorian houses, some now flats. Nottingham City Council is the planning authority, and the estate's management company reviews planning applications that affect it. If your home is listed or you're making visible changes, check with the council before booking.

Questions from homeowners in Nottingham
I rent in Lenton. Can I have a cat flap?
With your landlord's written permission. A flap in a back door or a replaceable door panel is usually the easiest to agree.
Do I need permission for a cat flap in The Park?
A flap in a rear door often doesn't need planning permission, but listed buildings do, and leasehold flats may need the freeholder's consent. Check with Nottingham City Council if unsure.
