Planning approval for a major £52-million student village development in Sheffield will spearhead a comprehensive development programme across the UK by Manor Property Group.

Manor is one of the largest independent developers of student accommodation in the country and already has planning permission for student developments in Birmingham and Hull and planning applications in place in Manchester, Leeds and Salford.

Manor’s Director Robert Lane commented: “We are delighted to begin our UK wide student development programme with Manor Mill in Sheffield. It will be the first in Manor’s innovative concept in integrated student accommodation and lifestyle services which will see 40,000 student bedrooms across the UK by 2019.”Managed by Manor Student Homes we will be providing first class accommodation for today’s discerning students.”

The site for Manor Mill is at the intersection of Napier Street and Summerfield Street and is bounded to the north by the Porter Brook. It will regenerate the surrounding area creating a new destination within the city.

Along with the student facilities Manor Mill will also be home to three  public café bars and restaurants at ground level which will face either  towards the remodelled and upgraded Porter Brook  with external terraced areas creating a new community asset  onto Summerfield Street and Napier Street.  In addition, there will be a smaller ‘corner café’ under the tower building in the north east corner of the site facing towards Ecclesall Road.
