The recent spurt in construction
starts, we estimate it could top
the 6,900 unit mark in the
inner boroughs by year end (estimated by doubling H1 2013 figures), points not only to
confidence
in the sector but also of
demand.

If construction rates continue at the
same level as they have done post-Lehman then
the entire stock of
potential student housing in the inner boroughs could be
exhausted by the end of
2014

ironically
very forces
driving the student housing since 2007 now
risk slowing it down, albeit inadvertently.

It seems now that that stock is slowly being exhausted

But could it be that the
very factors discouraging the
development of student accommodation in the
inner boroughs could
fuel it in the
outer boroughs?

Firstly, that supply in the
inner boroughs is becoming exhausted

Secondly
that developers are gearing up to tap in to a
secondary market in the outer boroughs
But why so much

outer boroughs?
emergence of a
3 tier system
of provision
1. Offering International students a more affordable choice
2. Providing off-site accommodation
for inner London universities
e.g....
Kodak

have shown early interest in the units for their students.
3. Satellite campuses
complete with teaching facilities
and accommodation

600+ student units (already)
plans for a research & commercial facilities to comea complete purpose built self-contained entity

But there could be an extra level
A 4th level fuelled by
the very factors inhibiting growth in the
inner boroughs

£psf values across the capital
investor activity
expanding from the
super-prime core to the
prime fringe
£psf values across the capital
If demand increases to such an extent that
investors venture in numbers beyond that
boundary into
traditional owner-occupier territory ...
£psf values across the capital
could lead to increased demand for rented stock which
in turn could push prices upwards in the private rented sector.
in the outer boroughs
bespoke student housing could become
an increasingly attractive option
for the domestic student.
Why live in a shared house when you can have free

Securityfor the same price?
Recap:
Inner boroughs:
Supply being exhausted but not replaced due to a shift in
focus by developers to super-prime
Recap:
Outer boroughs:
Will cater for an increasingly diverse group of students both
international and domestic
Recap:
Outer boroughs:
emergence of
super satellite universities complete with
accommodation and
teaching facilities
And finally:
It seems that the future of student housing is all
about the outer boroughs, but...
Let’s just take another look at the inner borough pipeline graph again.

The Digital edition
The start of this presentation same each year
180,000 applications, 6,000 site visits, 20,000 schemes on the database etc... Of those 20,000 schemes some
3,000 are either lapsed, withdrawn or refused,
But, if this digital edition is about anything it’s about
visualisation
Let’s not say how vast the database is
let’s visualise it
This is what 3,000 schemes looks like
Policy 3.8 of the London Plan seeks to ensure that strategic local requirements for student housing are addressed, without compromising capacity to meet the need for conventional dwellings, especially affordable family homes.
A lucky dip
All these sites have at one point been
in the planning system,
each site was once thought to have
development potential, each one
could have again
