Approved plan changes at Victoria Way

Summary

The applicant wants to change approved details for the town centre scheme at Victoria Way. The changes cover planting, roofs, paths and cycle parking.

The wider approved scheme includes shops, a hotel, flats, public spaces and road changes. These smaller changes may affect how the finished streets and buildings look. They may also change planting and places for bicycles.

The council will decide after the comment period. The supplied details say the wider scheme was already approved. They do not say whether all work is already built.
