CS HO3 - Student Accommodation

Student accommodation properly integrated and managed within new mixed-use developments that also includes separate self-contained housing will be supported.

Mixed-use developments that include residential use may include accommodation designed specifically for students subject to the following criteria:

  1. at least 90% of new residential units brought forward within the NP Area should be provided as permanent selfcontained homes (use class C3);
  2. residential floor space conforms with Policy HO1;
  3. an element of affordable student accommodation should be provided as part of any proposal for student accommodation, as per the Housing SPG 2016 (subject to viability);
  4. an element of accessible student accommodation should be provided as part of any proposal for student accommodation, including ensuring that all communal and amenity areas are wheelchair-accessible;
  5. mono-use student blocks will not be supported.

Within the mixed-use area identified within figure 45, student accommodation may be provided as a proportion of new residential development, provided that the potential for linkage with class B workspaces within the development is explored.
