A new development seems to be announced at least once a month; how much student accommodation does Coventry need?

The proposal is totally unsuited to that area.
I spent many happy lunchtimes in that pub when I worked for Austin Rover. Such a shame it's gone the way of so many others.

There is a definite anti-student feeling running through Coventry at the moment, but it's actually the government to blame. Many other cities mirror Coventry's views.

With online education gathering pace, this is ludicrous. There are already student flats in Coventry lying empty.

There must be a point where student accommodation reaches saturation point.

A rare outbreak of common sense. - Don't expect more of this!

New flats going up. I'm sure the students will appreciate living on an industrial estate: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-coventry-warwickshire-66335968

Some flarts are to be let out to non-students. Oversupply in the market? https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-coventry-warwickshire-66593126

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?

The stupidity continues! A few are making lots of money from this.
