A new five-storey student accommodation block of 87 apartments could be built in Bolton town centre. A planning application has been lodged which seeks to construct the new block on land at Fletcher Street, close to the University of Bolton campus.
The application, from Preston based Basil St Properties Ltd, seeks permission for a five-storey building to house students. Each of the 87 studio apartments would have an en-suite shower room and kitchenette.
There would also be a communal lounge and group study room. A parking area is proposed to the rear of the site for just four vehicles, the application said that they were to be primarily used by visitors, staff and for deliveries.
