Plans Submitted For Additional Accommodation At The Island Quarter
Plans have been submitted to build additional student accommodation at The Island Quarter in Nottingham.
The proposals have been put forward to Nottingham City Council which will see a further 383-space student block built on the Manvers Road side of the 36-acre site.
Combined with the 693 beds at the adjacent Winfield Court The Island Quarter will boast a significant student population once both phases are complete.
The proposals – designed by DAY Architectural - cover a range of accommodation types including cluster accommodation, studios and premium options, along with student community amenity facilities such as a gym, laundry room, various lounges and informal breakout areas.
Following a similar material palette to Winfield Court, the designs include a combination of grey, buff and red bricks on the building’s facade alongside ribbed metal cladding.
Christopher Ware, property director at Conygar, said: "The demand for student housing has never been greater, and PBSA plays a vital role in ensuring that students have access to high-quality accommodation without the need to restrict housing supply that is better suited for Nottingham residents."
The new student block is the latest planning submission by developer The Conygar Investment Company, following last May’s approval for a new 250,000 sq ft biosciences campus on the northern side of the site.
The scheme has been designed by DAY Architectural with planning, transport and environmental advice being provided by Axis.
