- LOK Developments received planning approval to demolish and rebuild 150-156 New Bridge Street, Newcastle, for a purpose-built student accommodation (PBSA) scheme ranging from four to six storeys.
- The approved design by Xsite Architecture includes 110 bedrooms across nine six-bed clusters, ten five-bed clusters, and six studios.
- The site is located opposite Northumbria University Design School, currently occupied by remnants of a former terrace and an abandoned development.
- The development respects nearby listed buildings by maintaining a design and scale that does not impact their visibility or heritage setting.
- The project team includes DPP Planning, JC Consulting, Apex Acoustics, SAJ Transport, and GIA Daylight, supporting various technical aspects of the scheme.
