Developers have said in the planning document that they believe the proposals for this site would represent "much needed investment" in this part of the town and the height of the buildings would balance with neighbouring Carlsberg.

While the second highrise building pitches to the planning department that there will be 168 one and two bedroom apartments - with a shop beneath facing Bridge Street - and 60 covered parking spaces.with vehicle access from Cattle Market Road.
