The fresh application replaces plans for 85 homes on the 1.38ha Ordnance Lane site, which had been approved by the former Liberal-Democrat-led council in June 2022.

The new scheme also features fewer 4-5 bed homes than in the approved project and more 1-2 bed homes, which the city council says better reflects public needs.
