Summary:
- The iLiving Group has submitted plans to convert the vacant former university teaching buildings at 94-98 Regent Road, Leicester, into 110 student bedrooms across 20 cluster flats, pending approval from Leicester City Council’s planning committee.
- The development includes a generously sized ground-floor common room designed as a flexible social and study space, alongside an external courtyard with planting and seating, enhancing communal living for residents.
- The scheme responds to Leicester’s growing demand for purpose-built student accommodation near the University of Leicester and De Montfort University, with no car parking but provision for 60 cycle spaces to support sustainable transport.
