More than 260 new student bedrooms could be created as part of a major new Liverpool city centre development.
Plans have been lodged with Liverpool Council’s planning department for the construction of a new student accommodation block of eight, 10 and 11 storey buildings to provide 218 studios with 10 cluster apartments. A commercial unit could also be installed at the site on land at Oldham Place, Roscoe Street.
Documents made available ahead of the city council’s planning committee, which will convene next week, detailed how a number of planning consents had been granted on the site including six and eight storey developments in 2016 and 2018 respectively. Response to Liverpool Council’s consultation had been limited, with one resident living in an overlooking block objecting to proposals on the grounds it could block and adversely impact light levels.
