There are a number of derelict sites in the area. A few weeks ago it was reported that housing activists had regained access to a site following an attempted eviction. The site, Sunnyvale, was/is occupied by a protest group operating under the name "That Social Centre". To the best of my knowledge the address in question is 23 Prussia Street.

I do not know the history of this shop in my photograph, which ceased trading a number of years ago, but the street on which it is located will undergo major changes in the near future as at least two sites are to be redeveloped.

In January planning permission was submitted for a student accommodation complex [541 units] to replace the Park Shopping Centre, The original shopping centre dating from 1984 adjoins the TU university campus which was scheduled to have 20,000 students by the end of 2020 but I am fairly certain that the target has yet to be realised.

It would appear that planning permission has been awarded late in 2020: "Demolition of existing buildings, construction of 585 no. bedspace student accommodation, 16 no. Co-Living apartments, 4 no. townhouses and associated site works."

I could wrong but there is another student complex underway on the other side of Prussia Street. The Topline Windows & PVC site at 68 Prussia Street has been cleared or is being cleared.
