Although I would welcome a local moratorium on further large-scale PBSA developments, will the First Minister take time to consider whether there is a need for refreshed national guidance on the impact of the large-scale overconcentration and overprovision of PBSA on communities in certain areas of Scotland?
Request for national guidance on PBSA developments.

Residents in the Woodlands area of my constituency are concerned about the impact that the proliferation of large-scale purpose-built student accommodation—commonly known as PBSA—is having on the community.
The latest application for St George’s Road—a 314-bed proposal—could mean 1,561 PBSA beds within a 300m radius, which would be an overconcentration that I hope that Glasgow City Council’s planning committee will refuse to approve.
