Your views on student housing in Edinburgh

We are looking for your views on how we manage the housing requirements of the city’s growing number of students.  We are specifically looking at:

Student housing issues paper
  • the growth of learning opportunities in the city
  • meeting the needs for student housing through purpose-built student accommodation; and
  • how this accommodation is spread across the city.

We have prepared a paper, showing the background research on this issue, asking nine questions.  The answers we receive will inform the content of draft planning guidance on student housing and we will be seeking further views on this later this year.

The paper is available for your comment on the Council’s Consultation hub from Monday 16 March until Friday 24 April 2015.
