Posted by Highfield Residents' Association on Dec 3, 2025 in News, Other Planning Issues / Information | 0 commentsDemolition of existing buildings and construction of purpose-built student accommodation within blocks up to 6-storeys in scale containing 507 bed spaces (within up to 409 units) and flexible commercial floorspace (Use Class E), internal and external amenity spaces, public realm, vehicle access and servicing, cycle stores, plant, boundary treatments and other associated works (amended to increase commercial floorspace to 831 sqm (GIA) and associated landscaping changes).
The Planning Application was ‘deferred’ at a recent Planning Panel Meeting on the grounds that the Commercial Space was not appropriate for a High Street location being too small. Revised plans are now available and the commercial space has been marginally increased.
The relevant documents are those ticked below.
At least five new objections have to be made before 9 December for the Application to be re-referred to the Planning Panel.
