Plans have been submitted to knock down much of the historic Corah textiles factory in Leicester to make way for more than 1,000 new homes.
Developers say they want to retain the main façade of the oldest building on the site as well as two chimneys at the northern end.
Most of the site would make way for 1,187 new homes, as well as shopping and leisure facilities, public spaces and a footbridge across the Grand Union Canal connecting it with Abbey Park.
