Initial proposals lodged earlier this year entailed the demolition of buildings situated at the junction of Constitution Street and John’s Lane at the development of 49 flats.

Now a revised bid of 39 homes has been submitted on the same site.

The latest proposals reduce the number of new-build residential units from 27 to 18 together with a reduction in the number of homes fashioned from the existing repair centre offices from two to one. An accompanying disused warehouse will be converted to 20 apartments as before.
