Consultation on the draft Purpose Built Student Accommodation Supplementary Planning Document (PBSA SPD)
The PBSA SPD provides comprehensive guidance to ensure new student housing developments meet the evolving needs of Nottingham's diverse student population. This SPD aims to set a framework for high-quality, innovative student housing, fostering a more inclusive and sustainable student housing market in Nottingham.
This SPD serves a dual purpose: to provide clear guidance for developers undertaking PBSA projects within Nottingham and to ensure that these developments align with the evolving needs of our student community. Rather than prescribing rigid formats, our aim is to establish a framework of minimum standards and requirements that uphold quality while encouraging innovation and affordability.
The document amplifies Policy HO5: Locations for Purpose Built Student Accommodation and Policy HO6: Houses in Multiple Occupation (HMOs) and Purpose Built Student Accommodation of the Local Plan Part 2: Land and Planning Policies Document (2020).
