Surely a site can't be left dormant for many months when it changes other street matters?
Ah bollocks
At the end of last year when they all of a sudden got on with doing all that prep work I'd assumed that come sometime in the first quarter of this year they'd be on site, but maybe there's been quite a few signals in the student residential market since then that mean that in 2-3 years time there'd be no need for it. Being such a big building it was going to take a while to be finished, and in that time other competing schemes will have had the chance to start and finish.
I wonder if the height will be retained in any alternative plans, or maybe they'll just sell the site on to someone else?
Such a shame.
