 Plans
The original plans for the site proposed
the construction of 131 houses and 90 flats, and work began on those
coloured red in the sketch. In March 2009, Bloor Homes submitted
revised plans for the remainder of the site to suit a market that
had changed dramatically since the original application was granted.
Previously planned apartments were removed from the scheme to concentrate
on providing 103 new 2, 3 and 4 bedroom houses, an overall reduction
of 38 housing units. The buildings along the canal frontage have
three storeys and gabled roofs with the intention of reflecting
the area's dockside and warehousing heritage. The trees and open
space at the northern end of the quay will be retained as a public
amenity. (App Ref 09/00250)
