Summary:
- Harringay Real Estate has submitted a planning application to convert the former St Joseph’s Care Home on Cotham Hill, Bristol, into 132 purpose-built student accommodation units, located within a five-minute walk of the University of Bristol’s Clifton campus.
- The development will include 102 studios and 28 cluster flat rooms, alongside amenity spaces, cycle storage, and communal gardens, with minimal external alterations to preserve the building’s historic landmark status.
- The scheme is designed to be largely car-free, addressing local concerns about unmanaged student housing, and reflects a market trend towards professionally managed student accommodation amid rental sector reforms.
