Unite Group has won planning permission for a 拢20m student halls project in Aberdeen that will provide a home for 399 students.

The 120,000 sq ft scheme will involve the refurbishment of a derelist, listed school, which will house 16% of the bedrooms, with the remaining rooms built in an adjacent six-storey new build block.

It is expected to be complete in time for the 2016-17 academic year.

Richard Simpson, managing director of property for Unite Students, said: 鈥淲e are very pleased to have received planning consent for this site as our development pipeline continues to progress well. This is our fifth site in Aberdeen, where we already provide a home for over 1,300 students.鈥�
