The developer is also looking to build 168 apartments, of which 21 are live-work units.

The plan is for a basement 171-space car-park and 208 bicycle car-parking spaces.

A new landscaped public street will be created from this access onto Marrowbone Lane terminating at the east site boundary.

Pedestrian access to the development and the new street and emergency vehicular access will be facilitated through a controlled opening at the end of the cul-de-sac at Marion Villas adjoining the south site boundary.
