Plans for a nine-storey block of flats for 330 students near the University of the West of England have been approved. South Gloucestershire councillors granted planning permission for the "landmark" spiral-design building on a former B&Q site at Filton Retail Park. This was despite concerns about road safety as the apartments will be near the ring road, just to the north.He said it was located near two railway stations, bus routes, UWE's bus terminal and shops and that a nearby NHS building was higher.
He said purpose-built student accommodation should be contained within the campus and not the other side of the dual carriageway.
