Consultation to Date
What have you told us?
We have learnt from the consultation to date that there is very
strong support for the development proposals. There is a
huge amount of affection for the quality of the environment
on campus, coupled with a strong sense of community and
belonging. People would like to see the new development
enhance this experience, whilst offering affordable and
accessible accommodation to a wide range of students with
differing needs and requirements.
Key changes to the proposals have been made as a result
of the previous rounds of consultation. This has fed into
the detailed designs and elevations for the new student
accommodation, details of which are presented on the
following boards.

Full details of the findings from the previous consultation
events can be found on our website:
