A grade II listed building on the site would be retained
Plans for new purpose-built student accommodation to help tackle a shortage of rooms in the city have been submitted to Manchester council.
Developer Host Students says it hopes the proposal would help to tackle an 'urgent need' for more student accommodation in the city, which saw students at the University of Manchester and Manchester Metropolitan University offered money to live in alternative nearby cities in September. Data from StuRents – the UK’s largest dedicated portal for student accommodation - says Manchester is currently short around 4,000 beds.
Plans no longer include land currently occupied by the West Indian Community Centre, which had initially been included. Planning and development consultants Turley, said the scheme will enable the 'sensitive refurbishment' of the listed building, 'securing its long-term future and productive use'.
