In the Baltic Triangle area of the city, officers have recommended that the planning committee approves proposals from North Point Global and PHD1 Construction for the second and third phases of a student accommodation scheme on Norfolk Street.
Designed by BLOK Architects, phase two near St James Street would be made up of a part-nine and part-six storey block with 125 flats, while phase three near Jamaica Street would be part-five and part-nine storeys with 72 studios.
