From the article... Quote: Papers submitted to the council said the problem of empty rooms stemmed from unstable demand Not unstable demand, but unsustainable demand! These companies want it all their own way, tough! I salute the council for refusing the request.

Yet more that will be reclassified because they can't fill it from the dwindling student population.

A application for more student accommodation has been turned down on appeal. The applicant obviously has no idea about the local market: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cly8wz2npz1oA application for more student accommodation has been turned down on appeal.

Many already are. They've been re-classified as suitable for young professionals. Feel free to draw your own conclusions!

Apparently, the number of students attending Coventry University are dropping; unless Warwick Uni's making the numbers up, these could be standing empty.

What's happening, Lex, is that the laws on building for students are being exploited. If we are changing occupancy rules, we have reached saturation, haven't we? Shouldn't we stop building?
