Conversion and refurbishment of six halls of residence blocks including retention and refurbishment of 3 existing residential units to provide a total of 84 residential units and erection of a sports pavilion (Full). Type Hybrid Application - Part Outline, Part Full PS Category 1 - Large scale Major Developments (ZOO+ dwellings) Officer Jennifer Seaman FOR CONSIDERATION BY Planning Committee on 03/10/12 REPORT PREPARED BY Head of Development Management SUMMARY This is a hybrid planning application, with outline consent sought for new housing, a residential care home, and retail use and full planning permission to convert existing buildings to residential use, a new residential block and a new sports pavilion. The area where new development is proposed mainly occupies an area of previously developed land, comprising a mixture of educational buildings and student residential blocks. New development is considered acceptable in principle because the site is within a Major Development Location and most of the site where housing is proposed constitutes previously developed brownfield land. However, new residential development is also proposed within part of the site that is designated as a Site of Urban Landscape Value (SULV), and this occupies an area of approximately 10% of the SULV within the application site.
