Architects proposing to develop a mixed use scheme comprising 58no. apartments, 5no. ground floor retail units and basement car parking. The application was approved in October 2007. PCCS Properties and Gregory Architects submitted a planning application (Z/2008/2000/F) in September 2008 proposing amendments to the previously permitted ground floor & basement car parking layout and access. The changes were approved in February 2009.
