An application to build more than 300 student flats over two blocks in the centre of Derby has been approved.The scheme, which was debated at a meeting on Thursday, earmarked land at the junction of Cathedral Road, Willow Row and Walker Lane.Submitted to the authority by applicant Cartwright Pickard, the two blocks will be built on a site that has been vacant for a number of years following the removal of temporary units which provided healthcare.The council approved the erection of a mixed use development at the site, comprising retail units and offices, in 2008. However, work never went ahead and the permission has now lapsed.
