When you think of the alternatives, a supermarket, houses etc, then I actuallyvthink that the student build is pretty good. They are thebonly category of tennants where yih can enforce a no car rules, they would help support the shops on Chelsea Road and, unlike houses for sale they would not put any furthervpressure on places at Newbridge School. The slopjng site is ideally suited to multistory buildings which would allow high density and yet not obscure anyones views.

Face it, this land will get build on sooner or later, if this scheme falls the alternatives could be a lit worse.

400-500 students in a residential district or 50 affordable houses (with a parking space each) for the next generation of permanent residents? You choose!   Also, if this is a private "for profit" student accommodation, how can anyone legally enforce no cars? (its not like its on campus). WASPS (another good school in the district) is going to 3 form entry, so not sure argument about school places is that crucial.
