Brighton & Hove City Council has given its approval for a new student accommodation residence.

Planning permission has been granted for a 51-room hall of residence for students near the Vogue Gyratory in Brighton.

The green light was given by the council's planning committee on 26 August.

Proposals include a three-to-four storey building on the current site of a car wash adjacent to the bottom on Gladstone Place.


The developers, a private student housing company, are required to contribute £62,000 to improve recreation facilities locally as part of an agreement with panning officers, plus nearly £12,000 to help improve local sustainable transport.

A planning condition means developers must sign an agreement with an existing educational establishment to take its students.

A management plan, controlling aspects such as noise and behaviour, will also have to be agreed with the council.
