“This application follows to remove the restriction on the car park requiring it to be managed for the use of resident students (condition 23) and also to remove the requirement to accord with the parking layout plan approved under APP/2019/0001 (condition 13) to allow the provision of access and egress for a fire escape on a neighbouring property and to include 3 disabled parking spaces on the site.”

“APP/2019/0001 - Demolition of locally listed Neptune Inn; construction of new 4 storey mixed use building to provide student accommodation (136 bedrooms); ancillary communal areas to include laundry room, gym, reception, study/resources room and student hub; part ground floor car parking; provision of 3 commercial units (Class A1, A2, A3 or B1); and associated landscaping, together with provision of new car park off Wiseman Street for 35 vehicles.”
