Planning Application No. 17/0750/FUL - The King Billy, 26-28 Longbrook Street, Exeter PDF 125 KB To consider the report of the City Development Manager.
Additional documents: Minutes: The Principal Project Manager (Development) (PJ) presented the application for Demolition of the King Billy pub to build a mixed use development scheme comprising of ground floor commercial units (Use Classes A1, A3 and A4) with 108 bed space student accommodation above over six and seven storeys.
The Principal Project Manager (Development) advised that the applicant had provided an access statement covering existing and future use of the area to the rear of the flats yard for deliveries and dropping off and picking up of students and that this had been developed in consultation with the adjoining commercial operators. He stated that the location of these student flats was appropriate in that it was both within the city centre so that students would not be passing through residential areas after nights out and was also close to the campus. He also advised that travel plans for student accommodation blocks were addressed by the County Council travel team and were unique to each site.
Members were circulated with an update sheet - attached to minutes.
