UEA and others were against it
Too many units in the City raises the potential for their own on-campus rooms end up half empty, further eroding their finances (i assume?)
If the student units sucked up all the students from the golden triangle, we might not need to build loads more houses but I heard from a student house landlord that there are thousands of empty properties already...
All anecdotal
