The redevelopment will provide a halls of residence for the nearby Rose Bruford College, a 106 bedroom hotel, studio space and commercial (A1 and A3) floorspace.

The site is currently occupied by a large office building and is allocated as a ‘Preferred Office Location’. The planning application addressed the loss of the office use as well as the need for the halls of residence and hotel. The planning committee welcomed the provision of much needed facilities and the regeneration of the dated site with a high quality development.
