Site	Ownership	Current Status	Capacity (bedspaces)	Current Deliverability & Defensibility Rating (Red/Amber/Green)	Potential Academic Opening Year (Sept)	Key findings and recommendation
7) Great Marlborough Street	Student Castle Investments LLP	Planning Approved – no start on site	853	Green	2027	• Planning permission was granted in 2021; however, that decision had until very recently been the subject of a legal challenge via Judicial Review. The case was dismissed in January 2023 and therefore it is now assumed that the scheme will come forward over a 4-5 year period.
8) ID Manchester	UoM (/ Bruntwood SciTech)	Pre-Planning	-N/A	Red	N/A	• We understand that PBSA is not currently identified by the landowner and JV as a desired component of the innovation district.
9) IQ Echo Street	IQ Student	Planning Permission Validated May 2023 - awaiting determination	1,224	Amber	2026	• Planning permission (118267/FO/2017) previously granted for 242 PBSA bedspaces, supported with co-living units. Scheme stalled and new proposals submitted (see below). • Planning application submitted (136874/FO/2023) by the same applicant / operator as the previous permission for a full PBSA development with, capturing the units previously allocated for co-living. • Timescales for delivery subject to ensuring target determination. Current timescales a 3 year construction period with the applicant aiming to target completion to allow occupation for the 26/27 academic year. • Our recommendation would be for MCC officers to continue to work with the developer, local Members and local residents in order to seek a positive resolution and grant of planning permission for this scheme.
