Thousands more student homes could be coming to Manchester as the planning committee prepares to debate a stacked agenda next week.
Three separate applications include adding over 4,000 student homes in total - including redevelopment of Upper Brook Street in Manchester and a planned overhaul of the Fallowfield Campus at the University of Manchester.
Hundreds of millions are being spent on different areas of Manchester in bids to create more accommodation for students and revamp areas around the university campuses.

A £65m development consisting of a student block with 737 bedrooms plus a nine-storey science building has gathered hundreds of objections from locals.
The Upper Brook Street proposal put forward by McLaren Property Ltd and Kadans Science Partner 8 UK Ltd is thought to bring significant economic, social and environmental benefits to the area. The applicants estimate the development would create 826 temporary and full time equivalent jobs every year of construction and bring in more than £20m to the local economy each year.
But for local residents this plan, which also includes 80sqm of commercial floorspace and room for a cafe/bar, would be overbearing in an area swamped by development. Residents have said this would tower over the tallest building in the area - which is three times smaller.
