The initial decision to block the eight storey scheme in July 2022 came despite recommendations for approval by the planning officer.
Detailing why the plans were refused, the planning committee noted that there was “concern about the amenity of students living in the accommodation because the rooms were very small, and the intensity of occupation was too high for the size of the site.”
It was also highlighted that there would be an impact on neighbour amenity because of the lack of car parking provided on the site and because the students would only be in occupation for part of the year. The design of the building was also considered to be “unimaginative and inappropriate as a gateway building to Beeston.”
The 419-student bed space scheme from Midlands-based developer Cassidy Group, planned for Station Road, next to the Arc Cinema, is now set to go ahead.
Cassidy previously said that the scheme at the edge of Beeston town centre would breathe new life into a derelict site and bring increased footfall and economic benefit to local retailers. They added that it would also free up much-needed housing in the town, currently occupied by students, for family homes.
