Plans to turn university halls into 270-bed asylum centre abandoned after huge backlash
Controversial plans to change an old student accommodation building into a large-scale asylum dispersal centre have been stopped as the university has withdrawn its application.
High Peak Halls is a multi-storey building with 274 rooms, all with ensuite shower rooms, set up as flats with shared kitchens and dining areas, and has been empty since 2019. If it had been successful, the application would have seen the Bridge Street site house up to 270 asylum seekers. “As leader of the council, I have been clear that this location is entirely unsuitable for the proposed use and I have written to the Home Office to object to the plans."
