Plans to build student accommodation in Liverpool’s Georgian quarter have been approved by the city council.
The developments – one on the corner of Hope Street and Myrtle Street, the other on Caledonia Street – were given the go-ahead following site visits.
The student flats will be built in blocks of up to 10 storeys on the site of the now demolished Josephine Butler House opposite the Philharmonic Dining Rooms pub and between the city’s two cathedrals.
The plans – by Maghull Developments in partnership with Student Castle Ltd – will involve the building of 368 student bedrooms within 22 apartments and 217 self-contained studio flats. There will also be communal student facilities, shops and a gym on the site.
