Bristol Live readers are divided into the news that a “signature building” in front of the Cabot Circus parking lot is planned-a 28-story student accommodation tower, which transform the Skyline of Bristol for those who arrive from the M32.

The striking octagonal skyscraper is the heart of the proposed Cabot Gate renovation, which was announced on August 7 by the owners of the shopping center. Plans submitted to the city council of Bristol show that it could accommodate up to 500 students.

A second building opposite the entrance is to climb eight floors and possibly offer more student apartments, a hotel with 150 rooms or “shared accommodation”.

Hammerson, who has Cabot Circus with the global investment giant Axa, says that the project will revive the “unused” country in front of the parking lot. However, historical England has expressed concerns about the scope of development.

There is currently an Enterprise Car rent on the website and was previously approved for office space – the permission that has expired since then.

In addition to the two main buildings, Hammerson's plans count a common room, a café, a new pedestrian route through the site and a combined hiking and bike track along the way in which you can replace the current sidewalk. Plants and landscapes would create a green “buffer” between road traffic and pedestrians or cyclists.

The designs come from the architects Allford Hall Monaghan Morris based in Bristol. If it is approved, the Cabot Gate would increase the growing number of high-rise students in the city center-a complex with 706 rooms that is already under construction in the nearby Temple Quarter Enterprise Zone.

Commentator 65Aj says: “My first thought was 'Which country?' There are streets everywhere.

Inkar does not agree: “We actually need more developments like this; Bristol's universities grow and the specially built student accommodation (PBSA) helps to facilitate pressure on family apartments. Without PBSA, the students flood the private rental market, increase costs and reduce the costs for the availability of locals.

Asmodeus replies: “The PBSA accommodation in Bristol has the highest rents outside of London. It is a myth to the assumption that it will reduce the HMOs of the pupils (much cheaper to rent). The construction costs are exceptionally high in Bristol, with additional costs for security laws that are drawn in the rents. PBSAS.

Horse308 asks: “Certainly the sizes of the university have now reached their peak? Do you not reduce the number of courses on offer? And why is the city center only open to students in which we can live?

Essjay1 complains: “The center no longer belongs to the taxpayer of Bristol. Where are our children live now? They are pushed out of Bristol. It is a no from me.”

Downtowngirl agrees: “Not really a landmark that justifies another overflowing, featurelless skyscrapers. We certainly have enough places for students and should search for real houses for families who want to work in Bristol and stay near families who live here who have their lives.

Malagogogirl replies: “These are additional units, they do not force anyone. If they are not built, places like the things, St. Phillips and Tottterdown would have a lot more pressure.”

Hanhamheight agrees: “Every single student who moves into all these new blocks is a less person who fights for a room in a common house in Easton, Fischteiche, Redland, Southville, etc.. It removes them directly from the general rental market and reduces the pressure on rents for everyone else.”

BS3BOB replies: “Then Bristol will certainly no longer have to build houses if all of these thousands of student apartments are built, with all rents being released for the general public?”

Do you think Bristol needs more student accommodation? Are you glad to see how the new building rises? Keep your say in our comment area.
