Cunniff Design and Roscoe are pleased to have supported Torsion Group in securing Gateway 2 approval from the Building Safety Regulator for a Higher-Risk Building.
The 10 storey Purpose Built Student Accommodation development is located on Kirkstall Road in Leeds and will contain 205 studio apartments with shared amenity space for residents.
The scheme is one of the first handful of new-build Gateway 2 approvals in the UK since the regime was introduced in October 2023, and the first approval for Torsion Group.
Last month Cunniff Design’s Patrick Evers featured on BBC Radio 4’s PM programme, meeting Evan Davies on site at Kirkstall Road to discuss the Building Safety Act and its impacts on the construction sector.
Torsion can now commence construction works on the project, with the scheme due for completion in 2027.
