The development comprises predominantly four-storey flatted blocks, with one block at Smisthhill Street being five storeys, which reflects the higher rise nature of the adjacent buildings.

The design statement added: “All blocks have main communal entry to the street, and secondary access to the private garden areas to the rear. The very nature of the layout enhances overlooking and security for the homes and residents.”
