Key Findings and Recommendations • There are Site's in closer proximity to the University Campuses in better locations for PBSA. • It is noted that there is a PBSA scheme next door (River Street tower); however, that scheme was approved under special circumstances given that the site had been subjected to a stalled development with a partially completed concrete frame only on the site, and there had been a number of failed attempts to bring the site forward for other (non-PBSA uses). The scheme that has been delivered offered a way forward for the site. • The scheme must go though a formal planning process and there can be no guarantee at this stage that it will be approved. There is a significant risk of objection from members of the adjoining residential communities. • The immediate action for the LPA to assess the submitted planning application against the development plan and other material consideration in order to consider whether it merits their support. It is marked as amber pending that consideration and the determination of the planning application.
