A full planning application for the erection of 194 homes has now been put forward as well as for a ‘Digital Skills and Enterprise Hub, incorporating serviced office accommodation’. The plan also includes a hotel and ‘commercial units with flexible retail, leisure and food and drink uses permitted’.
In addition there would be public realm improvements to Ironmasters Way and Lawn Central along with the ‘layout of associated access roads, landscaping and parking following demolition of the existing Lawn Central footbridge’.
An outline application has also been put forward, with all matters reserved, ‘for a mixed-use development comprising dwellings and/ or office or educational floorspace in addition to commercial floorspace with flexible retail, leisure and food and drink uses permitted and associated access, landscaping and parking’.
