Plans for a purpose-built student accommodation scheme in central Bristol have been given the go ahead by Bristol City Council. Student housing provider Host said it would now move forward with the construction of the 471-bed block on Avon Street.
As well as student flats, the proposals include 300 sq m of flexible space in the form of a hub. The development, on the 0.36 hectare site, will be delivered across three buildings and arranged around an open courtyard.
The buildings, which were formerly occupied by Chanson Foods, are 200 metres from Bristol Temple Meads station and overlook the city's Floating Harbour. They will also be next to the University of Bristol’s new Temple Quarter Enterprise Campus.
