A more diverse pipeline of PBSA is therefore required to stabilise rental growth. There is also the need to ensure that the market meets the needs of students at an affordable price. Reference is made to the London policy of 35% affordable units within any new PBSA to be encouraged.\n- Quality - the overall quality of Manchester's PBSA stock is poor compared to other cities, with the current poor quality accommodation needing to be addressed. All PBSA must be of a high quality, providing a high standard of living, within close proximity to the city's higher education institutions. Design should allow sufficient facilities to cater for the overall wellbeing of students.\nWell-being, safety, and security – PBSA should consider the welfare and wellbeing of students as a major factor, in both design and management. Ensuring that student accommodation is delivered in safe and secure locations, and with appropriate management and facilities.\n- Density - density of student accommodation will be essential to deliver the level of new high-quality accommodation needed within the context of scarce land availability both in the Oxford Road Corridor area and the wider city centre.\nLocation - should be located in the areas immediately adjacent to the core university areas, principally the Oxford Road Corridor area. This may include parts of surrounding neighbourhoods such as Hulme and Ardwick which are immediately adjacent to the university campuses.\n- Sustainability - given the current climate emergency and Manchester's commitment to be carbon neutral by 2038, it is increasingly important that the location of student accommodation in Manchester should continue to be driven by proximity to university campuses, reducing the need to travel, and to sustainable modes of transport.\nMix of uses – the need to maintain the right balance of commercial, educational, residential, cultural and leisure use. A limited amount of PBSA will be considered, in appropriate locations, where it can be demonstrated that it will support commercial and educational use, and the overall growth and regeneration objectives for the Corridor and the city.\n3.13.
