Mike Moran, Development Manager, Crosslane Student Developments, said: "Crosslane is delighted to have submitted its first planning application for a student accommodation development in Coventry.

"The proposed scheme is right in the heart of the city centre and a short walk to Coventry University. At 583 beds, the scheme would be a significant contribution to easing the supply/demand fundamentals which persist for purpose-built student accommodation in the city."
