The proposals would see the currently underused site transformed into high-quality, purpose-built student accommodation (PBSA), including affordable rooms on-site. Located just 50 metres from Waterloo Station, the scheme will deliver much‑needed student housing and introduce active ground floor spaces to bring new life and activity to Leake Street.
Feedback from the consultation helped shape the proposals, with local residents and community stakeholders emphasising the importance of celebrating Leake Street’s creative character, ensuring affordability for students and managing noise and servicing.
