Remit: 6 questions to consider
“1. Historical information / patterns - scene setting, possibly back to the 1950s and the
development of the University. Any information that gives perspective for the period 1994 - 98,
and the impact on the community around the Storer Road Area 1999.
2. More recently numbers have fallen in the SARG area, but expanded in other areas - have
you any examples of this happening in other areas of the country?
3. Spatial patterns - evidence of a 'domino' effect. One property becomes student
accommodation and then others around it do too? Or Street by Street?
4. The picture now, where students are located. How you have approached measuring
these figures? Information would be welcome in respect of tool kits used and the results.
5.
Any information re purpose-built accommodation, both on and off campus.
6. Patterns of ownership - landlords, parents for their children and sub-letting other rooms,
groups of students.”
Planning for current
trends of change
•
Increasing demand for on-campus halls of residence from Years 2 and 3 >
good student experiences in halls during Year 1
•
Relatively low demand for off-campus, commercial, Purpose-built Student
Accommodation (PBSA)
•
Off-campus geographies of HMO are changing and are dynamic:
– Destudentification within Storer and outer-areas of the town (and Burleigh to a lesser
extent)
– On-going studentification of Kingfisher and Forest Road areas
– Why?
•
•
•
•
Changing student accommodation preferences and expectations of higher-quality
accommodation and management / proximity to campus
Profitability for landlords and investors – bigger and newer houses?
Changing economic climate: student debt and tuition fees?
More home-based / regional students?

Off-campus PBSA
• “The student blocks in the town are definitely
struggling to fill their accommodation. I know that a
lot of them are worried by the voids that they have”
[Landlord 2].
• “We are half full” [PBSA Provider 4].
• “I think they were popular when they were first
built, but after a year or two they begin to lose their
appeal, because you hear that they are all really
struggling at the moment” [Letting agent 1].
• “All rooms aren’t full and they haven’t been for
several years” [PBSA provider 6].

Non-residence in Loughborough
Student survey 2013
Conclusion
• SCRUTINY PANEL: To what extent is
the Borough Council successful in
achieving its objective of managing
student occupancy in Loughborough?
Conclusion: a more robust evidence-base of
student occupancy / HMO would be beneficial
• House by house, GIS-based system - which
is automatically updated (annually) and
enables comparisons of annual changes
• Maintains anonymity and confidentiality of
people
• In-built flexibility for planning – can be
adapted for different geographies / different
thresholds / different buffer points / circles
• Integrate a variety of datasets: university
term-time addresses, Student Union, council
tax, electoral registers, etc
Why the need?
• Inefficient use of staff / time resources to
update current incomplete datasets
• Accurate data / evidence-bases are needed
to inform policy formulation / strategies
• Expensive surveys only provide brief snapshots in time
• Datasets are quickly out-of-date and noncomparative over time
• Partial understandings of student occupancy
are provided
