In summary their objections are:
(a) There is no evidence of the need for additional student accommodation or of a partnership between the developer and the University to establish need.
(b) The proposed development would lead to a concentration of student accommodation that would adversely affect the amenities of existing residents.
(c) The proposed site is unsuitable for student accommodation.
(d) The proposed development would encroach on City of Durham’s Green Belt.
(e) The proposed development would have a harmful effect on the character and appearance of the area.
(f) The proposed access road to the development is problematic.
