Plan for new Uni student accommodation.

Not much info on this.
Plans for new Uni student accommodation have been drawn up that will see Gibbs & Dandy in Widemarsh St relocate near to Jewsons with their old business premises used to build Uni student accommodation.

Just the latest in a seemingly endless stream of sites that have been trumpeted, but absolutely no action. £15m handed over so far and really not much to show for it, except the 14 bed Miller Court (guide price £1.85m).

G and D are part of Jewsons, but the restricted Canal Road access is ridiculous for what is a distribution centre for heavy building goods. They both should have been encouraged to the edge of town.

Have a clearer picture on this today with a comment that they are actually taking over part of Jewsons yard.
Also heard a local family are about to submit a planning app for the empty Prezzo unit on the old market and a rumour of Beefy Boys taking an interst in Franky & Bennys.

Miller Court in Ledbury Road is seemingly no longer required by the University in the endless game of property shuffle - there is a planning application submitted by Platinum Care Services for a change of use to a care home.
