A DECISION to twice refuse planning permission for student dwellings in Headington has been overturned.

Cherwell Housing Trust launched an appeal after Oxford City Council refused planning permission to demolish 88 and 90 Windmill Road and 1A Mattock Close and replace them with 49 student study rooms.

Now a Government-appointed planning inspector has ruled the scheme should be given the go-ahead as long as a warden is on-site.
