Students will have access to a double-height reception that leads into a two-floored haven of space that will include a basketball half-court, a fitness suite, and an open-plan everyday space.

A mezzanine floor will accommodate study and communal spaces, with other facilities including a concierge, a selection of lounges, dining rooms, an auditorium, cinema, and karaoke and games rooms.

Acting as a green extension to these spaces will be a landscaped central courtyard (with c.162 bicycles) deeply rooted in nature.

Approval for 17 Storey PBSA on Bristol Road





The former Trees Public House site facing Bristol Road is to be developed with 620 student bedrooms after revised plans were approved this morning.

Back after plans for a 26 storey were knocked back in April 2022 on heritage impact grounds, Fusion Students now have the go-ahead to proceed with the site.

Derelict for too long, plans will see four new linked blocks of eight, 10 & 11 floors, with the tallest rising to 17 storeys.

Intriguingly, Fusion has appealed last year’s refusal and that will go to a public inquiry on 28 March 2023, running for four days. A decision is due 24 May 2024.

THE HERE AND NOW: 17 STOREYS.

The site will accommodate three- and four-bedroom clusters, along with a variety of studios, social studios, twodios, and one-bedroom apartments.

Students will be welcomed by a double-height reception area leading into a two-floored amenity space, occupied by a basketball half-court, a gym suite and open plan everyday space.

In addition to a 24-hour concierge, lounges, dining rooms, auditorium/cinema, karoake TV room, and a games room, a mezzanine level will facilitate study and communal areas.

A 347sqm landscaped central courtyard with a strong connection to nature will serve as a high-quality new external space that will provide an extension to the outstanding indoor social spaces.

Connected to a prominent cycle highway, covered cycle spaces for 162 will be allocated, with the potential for 80 more.

Fusion Students' new £1.5bn joint venture with Cain International seeks to regenerate this derelict Bristol Road site with a c. 620-bed student accommodation scheme.

Aiming for an October 2023 start date, the redevelopment of The Tree sites, a former public house, proposes c. 620 apartments within four new linked buildings, with the tallest rising to 17 storeys fronting onto Bristol Road and Belgrave Middleway.

The other buildings, designed by Corstorphine+Wright, remain subservient to the taller block and these will rise to 8, 10 & 11 storeys.

Accommodation includes a range of 3-4 room clusters with a shared kitchen/living space; social studios; twodios; larger studio rooms; and standard one-bedroom apartments.

With a key focus on well-being to ensure happy and healthy living, students will be spoilt for choice. Facilities include a 24-hour concierge, a central courtyard, study spaces, an auditorium/cinema, a karaoke TV room, a games room, laundry, lounges, dining rooms, and a gym & basketball court.

The main source of transport will be the 162 cycles provided within a secure double-stacked system, with the potential for 80 more adjacent to the existing cycle highway.
