HUNDREDS of new student flats could be built in high-rise blocks at a former industrial site if plans are approved.
Colchester-based student homes specialist Beyond the Box has submitted a planning application to create the new homes at Colne Quay, in Hythe, Colchester.
Accommodation will be split over three separate buildings with 300 studio rooms available with en suite and kitchenette facilities.
The development’s hub will include a cinema room, games area and gym for students to use.
