Staffordshire student block Deakin’s Yard was meant to open for this September’s intake, but an interim injunction has been put in place whilst the BSR investigates potential building regulation breaches<\/h2>\n

The Building Safety Regulator (BSR) has launched an investigation into a 273-room high-rise student accommodation building in Newcastle-under-Lyme for a potential breach of building regulations.<\/p>\n

The block, which only completed last month, would have housed around 230 students in September. However, the interim injunction prevents \u201cunlawful occupation\u201d<\/p>\n

A BSR spokesperson said: \u201cWe were granted an injunction to stop the unlawful occupation of the building,\u201d said a BSR spokesperson, adding that they are “working closely with relevant organisations.\u201d<\/p>\n

The exact breach of building regulations at Deakins Yard has not yet been revealed<\/h3>\n

According to property services partner Elavace, Deakins Yard features 122 studios with en-suites, 127 studios with en-suites and kitchens, 10 one-bedroom apartments, and 14 accessible areas, such as a cinema and study space.<\/p>\n

A statement on Curlett Jones Estates’ website says that Keele University has confirmed that alternative student accommodation<\/a> is available on campus for “both temporary and permanent stays.”<\/p>\n

“Serious questions need answering”<\/h3>\n

Adam Jogee<\/a>, MP for Newcastle-under-Lyme, commented on the news, saying that “This news will come as a huge shock to the students who were expecting to move into Deakin\u2019s Yard over the coming weeks \u2013 many of whom now face uncertainty over where they will live in the long term.<\/p>\n

“It is utterly unacceptable that \u2013 in 2025 \u2013 a brand-new building can get to the point of opening with such serious safety concerns that the Building Safety Regulator has had to step in at the eleventh hour to protect lives. We must have answers from the developers, the contractors, Newcastle-under-Lyme Borough Council as the planning authority, and all those involved in approving and signing off this project.<\/p>\n

“Serious questions need answering about how this project was granted planning permission, the building control processes in place, and why the project was allowed to progress when safety concerns had already been raised. My constituents \u2013 and the students affected \u2013 deserve to know who is responsible and how this will be put right.”<\/p>\n

The building’s owner, Integritas Property Group Ltd, said: “We can confirm that the launch of Deakin’s Yard has been temporarily delayed, pending the receipt of a final certificate. We are working closely with the Health and Safety Executive and the Building Inspectorate to address the matter and ensure all requirements are met. Our priority is to resolve this as quickly as possible and to ensure the building meets the highest standards of safety and compliance before launching.”<\/p>\n

In response to Adam’s comment, Andrew Fear, Newcastle-under-Lyme Borough Council’s cabinet member for strategic planning, said: \u00a0\u201cNewcastle-under-Lyme Borough Council has never been responsible for the building regulation of this project.<\/p>\n

\u201cHaving previously been managed through an Approved Inspector, this building qualifies as a High Rise Building and as such is covered by the new post-Grenfell legislation, ie it is regulated by the Building Safety Regulator.\u201d<\/p>\n
