Representation ID: 59101

Received: 13/12/2021

Respondent: Metro Property Unit Trust

Agent: Turley

Representation Summary:

The general policy direction is supported, as it is considered that these continue the theme of the currently adopted Local Plan Policy, 46. The policy direction could be expanded, to support student accommodation directly adjacent to existing/proposed educational establishments. This will in turn achieve the currently adopted policy’s (46) aims of locating such accommodation in areas served by sustainable transport modes and reducing pressure on the existing private residential housing stock.
