Clarendon House to let three months after student accommodation redevelopment approved

Leigh Curtis

Clarendon House is being advertised to let as office space three months after Exeter City Council planning committee approved the demolition of the block and its replacement with student accommodation.

Developer Zinc Real Estate first published its proposals to replace the five-storey 1960s office block with student accommodation in December 2023 before revising them twelve months later.

In January last year, however, it submitted plans to convert the block to 32 residential flats before also then submitting plans to demolish it and build a ten-storey 297-bed student block in August.

The council has yet to grant consent for either the approved student accommodation or the residential conversion plans.
