"The overall approved scheme for King’s Stables Road will be student accommodation, residential flats, a hotel and a series of commercial units."
More of the same, basically. An increasingly homogenised cityscape is emerging fairly rapidly.

This would be a disaster for the artists/makers in the city. There are very few affordable workspaces around. It's also galling that the Palette kept the building occupied and busy when it would otherwise probably have been left derelict.
Also, the comment that the new owners want to turn it into "facilities for the benefit of the local community”. It's currently being used as a place of employment and bringing in several hundred individuals into the area each day who will spend in local shops, whilst also providing things such as drop-in courses that anyone can attend.
