Proposed development

The proposed development consists of the following: • Change of use of areas at ground and first floor of 'The Brickworks' student accommodation development from educational use to student accommodation, to provide 38 no. additional student accommodation bedspaces in 6 no. clusters (1 no. 3 bed cluster, 1 no. 5 bed cluster, 1 no. 6 bed cluster, and 3 no. 8 bed clusters). This results in an overall increase of total student accommodation bedspaces from 276 no. to 314 no. spaces; • Provision of 10 no. additional cycle parking spaces at ground floor level (replacing an existing refuse store); • Associated alterations to fenestration and façade treatment to the east, west, north and south elevations at ground and first floor level; • Use of the existing and proposed student accommodation units for tourist or visitor accommodation during academic holidays (superseding the wording of Condition 18 of Reg. Ref.: 3316/16); • All associated development.
