Durham County Council’s decision to grant planning permission for a student housing development at Sheraton Park, Neville’s Cross, will result in a £420k injection in development funding for the local community.
The decision means that the specialist student housing developer, Alumno Developments, will transform two large, derelict Edwardian buildings on the Sheraton Park Estate into purpose-built student accommodation as well as providing substantial community investment- a landmark contribution for this type of proposal – in the neighbouring area.
