Student flats plan gets the go-ahead (From Oxford Mail)
A 300-BED student complex will be built in Headington despite fears its elderly neighbours will be kept awake at night.
Berkeley Homes won permission to build 313 rooms for Oxford Brookes University students on the former Dorset House School site in London Road.
Oxford City Council gave the go-ahead despite pleas from residents, including those in retirement flats and a nursing home, that late night student noise would lead to a clash of lifestyles.
Developers and council planners said 24-hour on-site wardens would manage any rowdy behaviour.
But Sandy Russell, the general manger of the McMaster House retirement flats, said her residents deserved peace and quiet. She told the council’s strategic development control committee the site for her flats had been chosen as it was a “quiet location in which people could enjoy their twilight years”.
