Not sure I understand that as thought the councillors rejected it on the basis of it not being an appropriate location for student accommodation. I guess we’ll see what they say. Hopefully with an approval for 1st building at John Street, JR Smart will crack on with Capital 3& 4 progressing well
Re. John St... Well the original got planning permission and not much changed from that other than a bit more height and the building has now been 'separated' so fingers crossed that this is given the thumbs up! and then fingers crossed again that it gets built!! With the rad blu - customhse tower and herb st tower very close this area would surely be the main focus of our skyline for sometime to come.
