Multiple Student Housing Schemes Approved in UK, Ireland, Australia

Several large student accommodation projects have recently received planning approvals despite opposition from local residents. Notably, an 84-apartment, 568-bed complex by McHugh Property Holdings in Terryland was approved after an appeal was rejected, with concerns over parking and neighborhood character addressed by planning officials. This development follows a nearby 255-bed student accommodation currently under construction, both of which will serve as tourist accommodation outside term times. Additionally, Metrix Developments Limited obtained permission for a three-storey extension adding three flats at Station Court in Buckinghamshire, with conditions to address sewage system upgrades and parking concerns raised by local councillors. These approvals reflect ongoing growth in student housing projects amid mixed-use developments in various regions. Other property news includes major transactions and leadership changes within real estate firms, although these are less directly related to student accommodation trends.
