The proposed site for the accommodation lies in the Central Park area of the campus, close to the Edward Herbert Building. The site includes the existing Car Park 5 as well as land adjacent to it, including the parts of the campus previously occupied by the Graham Oldham and Chemistry buildings, both of which have already been demolished.

The new accommodation would replace existing stock on campus that has reached its end of life.

The development would provide 552 bedspaces across five blocks. The blocks would be set within landscaped surroundings, including a shared plaza and a landscaped square.

Further information on the proposal and a form to feedback comments are available on the Avison Young website. The deadline for comments is Monday 21 April 2025. Feedback received as part of this consultation process will help to inform further development of the proposals, in advance of the planning application submission to the local authority.

Once the planning application has been submitted, the Council will consider the proposals and give local residents a further opportunity to review and comment on them.
