An application to build a six-bed two-storey purpose built student accommodation block in the back garden of a student House in Multiple Occupation in Pennsylvania Road has been submitted to the city council for approval.
The application cites a student accommodation block in the back garden of the neighbouring property, granted planning permission in 2011, as a precedent for volume, massing and design.

The blocks are adjacent to Devonshire Place orchard and play area and are located inside the Longbrook Conservation Area and St James Neighbourhood Plan area boundaries.
A previous application to build a house in the Pennsylvania Road garden was refused in 2013.
Comments on the development proposals can be submitted via the city council website where the application can be viewed in full.
