City Councillors have a approved a revised scheme to redevelop the former Dairy Crest depot on Harper Road.
The existing Dairy Crest Distribution Depot (which has been vacant for a number of years) will be demolished and replaced with a student residential complex. The building will be a mixture of 3, 5 and 6 storeys with the 3 storey element fronting Harper Road, opposite existing residential properties. The 6 storey element will boast a frontage the River Sherbourne. A total of 200 student bedspaces will be provided.
This revised scheme was submitted after concerns about the height of the development and the choice of materials were deemed unsuitable for the surrounding area.
