A major new student accommodation development for Aberdeen could be given the seal of approval by councillors this week.The proposals, for 341 student flats at the city’s Triple Kirks, have been on the table since last year.The 13-storey project would encompass 175 studio flats and 166 en-suite rooms.Developers Dandara also plan to include a cafe, gym and various activity rooms in the £20million scheme.Dandara bought the derelict Triple Kirks site from the Stewart Milne Group, which had secured planning permission for an office development in August 2011.However, in March of this year, the firm announced it had changed its plans because of an over-provision of commercial office space in the Granite City.
