Plans for the construction of new Purpose-Built Student Accommodation (PBSA) as part of Phase 2B of the Island Quarter in Nottingham have been recommended for approval ahead of a planning committee meeting next week.
The application comprises 394 student bedspaces arranged within a ‘V’ shape building, split into four adjoining ‘blocks’ of between seven and 11 storeys.
The building would stand at the back edge of City Link and Manvers Street with a private courtyard to the rear.
Of the 394 bedspaces proposed, 313 of these would be provided within cluster flats and the remaining bedspaces within single occupancy studios.
This is the second phase of student accommodation at Conygar’s Island Quarter, with construction completed at the 693-bed Winfield Court this year.
The Island Quarter could eventually be home to more than 1,000 students from the University of Nottingham and Nottingham Trent University.
