Key Findings and Recommendations • 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.
