Plans have been unveiled to build a £50million accommodation complex for 1,000 students on a popular Coventry city centre car park.
Developers CODE Student Housing is set to be given the green light to purchase the leasehold of Cox Street car park, opposite Coventry Sports and Leisure Centre, on Fairfax Street.
The proposals would see the section of the car park nearest to the sports centre, but not under the ring road, transformed into accommodation to meet the needs of the city’s rising student population.
Around 600 cars use the car park everyday, but bosses at Coventry City Council insist the demand for parking – and any loss of car parking income – can be solved by existing capacity at Lower Ford Street, Grove Street and White Street car parks.
