The site sits approximately 2.3 miles south from the University of Stirling main campus and is well located to benefit from excellent local transport links. The UniLink bus service, connecting the city centre to the University campus, departs from immediately outside the proposed development.
The consented scheme will comprise a prominent, high specification student
accommodation development, including 106 bed spaces extending across seven storeys, along with high quality amenity spaces. There are 104 self-contained studios with one additional two bedroom apartment. The main entrance is accessed off Goosecroft Road on the ground floor via a central lobby which leads onto a communal lounge area.
The site is currently vacant and sits adjacent to a recently completed residential
development. Planning consent has been secured from Stirling Council (REF 19/00135/FUL).
The proposed development will also provide ground floor amenity and shared facilities that will include space to accommodate the following:
Reception and lobby area (71 sqm)
Gym (38 sqm)
Student lounge (47 sqm)
Laundry
Cinema (30 sqm)
44 Cycle spaces will be provided to the rear of the property as well as 2 accessible car parking spaces.
