The proposed development will principally consist of amendments to the internal layouts and dwelling mix of permitted Blocks 1, 2, 3, 5, 8 and 9 to increase the total number of dwellings by 47 No. from 877 No. to 924 No. The amended dwelling mix increases studio units by 52 No., increases 1-bed units by 72 No., results in no change to 2-bed (3-person) units, decreases the 2-bed (4-person) units by 77 No. and results in no change to 3-bed units. Overall, the amendments will result in the following dwelling mix across all 9 No. permitted blocks: 97 No. studio units, 460 No. 1-bed units, 86 No. 2-bed (3-person) units, 240 No. 2-bed (4-person) units and 41 No. 3-bed units. To facilitate these amendments to the dwelling mix, amendments are also proposed: to the elevations and fenestration of Blocks 1, 2, 3, 5, 8 and 9; to increase cycle parking; and to public open spaces, communal amenity spaces and private amenity spaces (including balconies and terraces). As a result of these amendments, the overall gross floor area of the development will reduce by 112 sq m from 77,564 sq m to 77,452 sq m (including podium/undercroft car park area of 5,443 sq m).
