A stretch of land which includes a car park, an old Mecca Bingo site and a building that was used by Pure Gym, could be converted into 340 new homes if plans are approved. The developers behind the Brook Dye Works development in St Werburghs have not yet submitted a planning application but are holding community consultations next week.
Galliard Homes plan to build on a large patch of brownfield land along Barrow Road and Tenbury street in St Philips. The current proposal includes a mixture of two and three-storey town houses alongside one building comprising 16 floors and another 10-storeys high.
The developers say that the proposal for new high rise buildings in the area is in line with the council’s ambition for Lawrence Hill ‘which can include taller buildings’. Alongside housing there are plans for ‘new gardens and play spaces’ by Hemmings Way.
