Designed by Cooper Cromar on behalf of McAleer & Rushe Property, the project will deliver 432 flats in an L-shaped block, joining the recently completed office block and hotel to complete the Broadway Central development.

The vacant site was previously home to studios for STV.

The final plans contain several changes from the designs presented during the public consultation, with the upper crown now finished in matching brickwork to the main body of the build. A privacy screen for a bicycle storage area at ground level has been lowered.

A statement included with the application explained: “The development seeks to create a distinctive and unique environment with a wide range of internal and external amenities — reflecting the themes of sustainability, community and placemaking.

“The footprint is smaller than the extant planning application but steps up in height to minimise building footprint and increase the amount of external area.”
