The Story So Far
In December 2007 outline planning application was
submitted for the entire site.
Early in 2008 a full planning application was submitted
for Phase 1 of the site; this included the Seaside Square, a new
setting for the Midland and the first two apartment blocks.
As of February 2010 the original outline planning
application was brought before the planning committee on the 8th.
Although officers had recommended refusal the application was deferred
until spring in order for Urban Splash to submit new amended plans.
