Consarc Architecture, working alongside Scott Hobbs Planning, wishes to demolish the existing Carbon nightclub at 21 South Ward Road, freeing up the 0.11-hectare site for development.

The practice said: “The proposals are currently still evolving, which is why your feedback at this stage is important. The current proposals are for a student accommodation development, which seeks to make more efficient use of this highly accessible, sustainable site. Dundee has a significant shortfall in quality student accommodation compared to other university cities across the UK, and this will be demonstrated in supporting information to be submitted with the planning application.”

Comments on these initial proposals are welcome on the consultation website or at consultation@scotthobbsplanning.com by Wednesday 10th August 2022.

Subject to this consultation exercise and further discussions with Dundee City Council, a detailed planning application is proposed later this year.
