Godwin Developments has received a resolution to grant approval from Nottingham City Council for its 692-bed student scheme at a former Royal Mail site in the city.
Nottingham’s decision to green-light the Bendigo Building is subject to clarification on design details.
The development will see blocks of 12 to 15 storeys on the site. It will comprise a mix of modern studio apartments, four, five and six-bedroom clusters and accessible studio rooms.
Matt Chandler, development director at Godwin Developments, said: “With unmet demand of over 7,000 student beds in the city and the number of undergraduates rising as both universities continue their expansion plans, there is a clear requirement for more dedicated student spaces where young people can live, study, and socialise together.
“Our plans will not only cater to this demand but also support the council’s ambitions to keep the city centre vibrant, house students better, and protect further traditional family housing from being converted for student occupation.”
