Belfast Council officials have recommended for approval a city centre student block set to be the largest built to date.
The building will be erected at a site between Library Street, Little Donegall Street, Stephen Street and Union Street if the plans are approved by councillors at a Belfast City Council Planning Committee meeting on Tuesday of next week (Jan 17).
According to a PR statement sent out by the developers on Friday, the project entails a 795 bedroom block - down from 862 according to a previous report from a planning committee meeting in October. The developers today said they “have been able to respond to constructive feedback from the consultation and planning officers to refine the design of the building”.
