City residents are being asked to have their say on student accommodation in Norwich.
Norwich City Council is seeking views on its new Supplementary Planning Document (SPD) concerning student accommodation within the city through Get Talking Norwich.
A council spokesperson, said: “Norwich is home to two thriving universities, the University of East Anglia and Norwich University of the Arts, both of which are significant contributors to the local economy and are projected to continue their growth.
“Over the past decade, a substantial amount of student accommodation has been developed, primarily within the city centre.
“We recognise the valuable contribution purpose built student accommodation makes to the housing market of Norwich alongside other forms of accommodation. However, we believe there is enough existing and planned student accommodation supply to meet the city’s needs until 2038.”
The SPD also gives advice on the design of student accommodation, how it should be managed and where in the city they have been built.
