BAM Property Refused Permission To Add 40 Bedrooms To City Centre Student Accommodation Block

The 400 bed student accommodation is being built on the former Beamish and Crawford site on South Main Street
BAM Property has been refused permission to add 40 bedrooms to a 400 bed student accommodation block on the former Beamish and Crawford site on South Main Street
Permission had been sought to add one floor to the already-permitted seven-storey building, and two floors to part of a six-floor element of one of the student accommodation blocks
However, planners said these additions would make the development visually overbearing relative to existing properties on adjoining sites.
Work has yet to start on other parts of the site as planning issues have yet to be decided on the city’s long-delayed events centre.
