Student housing development opportunities — applied to Cambridge City Council in the East of England. With moderate Gateway 2 fire-safety scrutiny and an average build cost of £2600/sqm, the deal arithmetic for purpose-Built Student Accommodation (PBSA) here is distinct from neighbouring boroughs.
Heads up: Cambridge City Council operates Article 4 directions, so purpose-Built Student Accommodation (PBSA) that would normally be permitted development will likely require a full planning application here. Build that into your timeline and risk model.
