In November 2018, Deansgate Councillors Marcus Johns & William Jeavons submitted a detailed objection to the proposals for a 55-storey student accommodation tower by Student Castle on Great Marlborough Street in our ward.

Our objection focuses on:

  • Height: 55 storeys is too tall in this location
  • Visual amenity: the design is too oppressive
  • Overdevelopment: the proposals are for too many flats in a small location and will put strains on other services
  • Effects on local residents: noise and loss of privacy will affect neighbours
  • Wind: the proposals will worsen wind conditions
  • Traffic: the proposals will result in more traffic in the Macintosh Village area

Other concerns raised to us include ineffective consultation, loss of car parking, and poor highways access.
