Further student flats planned for Agard Street

Simon Foote Architects has submitted plans for another new student accommodation building on Agard Street.

A team of local businesses including SF Architects, DLP Consulting (planning) and Locus Consulting (heritage) have pooled their skills to bring forward the plans.

The proposed development responds to the concerns raised by both local council planners and Historic England, with Simon Foote Architects undertaking a wholesale redesign of an earlier scheme.

Simon Foote said: “The result is a signature development for Derby, one that raises the profile of the Agard Street gateway and brings about a much needed regeneration of the city centre.”

It is hoped that approval for the scheme will be granted later in the year, ahead of construction.

The building is the latest proposed residential scheme for Agard St, following others such as a 156-bed student scheme and 77-apartment residential scheme, both of which were submitted late last year. Decisions are expected on those in the coming months.
