More Mary Arches Street “co-living” block design revisions trigger third public consultation

Leigh Curtis

Developer Eutopia Homes has submitted further design revisions to its application for full planning permission for a 297-bed seven storey “co-living” complex in Mary Arches Street.

Its latest revisions, which include roof line amendments and the addition of corner balconies, have triggered a third public consultation on the plans.

Previous design revisions included swapping bedspaces for kitchen space and halving cycle storage but did not address “miniscule” room sizes in the blocks, which were condemned as “slums of the future”.

Comments on the revised proposals can be submitted via the city council website until Sunday 5 April.
