CAMPAIGNERS are warning holes could be ploughed in Colchester’s town wall in order to create access for a controversial student flats development. Alumno’s plans, which feature 336-student flats, shops, a Travelodge hotel and open space, were approved on appeal by an inspector. A condition means the development can only go-ahead when designs for ramp access to Priory Street car park are rubber-stamped. These plans have now been submitted to Colchester Council for approval. Campaigners say the proposal will see sections of the grade listed town wall, parts of which were made by the Victorians out of reconstituted Roman bricks, “smashed” to facilitate the ramp.
