The city council is requesting approval to convert a student accommodation block on Smithdown Lane east of the city centre into apartments for homeless people.
The five-storey Smithdown Court can accommodate 59 people and would replace the authority’s former Rough Sleeping Night Hub, Labre House, on Camden Street.
Labre House, which has dormitory-style sleeping arrangements, was closed during the pandemic to curb the spread of Covid-19.

As a result, a facility with self-contained bedrooms is required to make up for the shortfall of bed spaces.
