Planning documents submitted by the applicant add the building would comprise of a six-storey section, as well as a four-storey section with a rooftop garden.
“The proposal will deliver substantial economic, social and environmental benefits including helping to meet the significant identified need for additional housing at a time when the local planning authority cannot demonstrate a five year supply,” they said.
“The proposal also ensures the re-use of previously developed land, identified on the brown field register for residential housing in a sustainable location.”
The site would also contain 16 parking spaces, and 44 cycle parking spaces.
A report prepared for councillors by planning officers details the proposal had received 18 objections that raised concerns about anti-social behaviour and parking.
However, a report from planning officers states the flats were not restricted to particular groups of people and added there was “no reason” they would be likely to behave in a manner that is “specifically different” from residents elsewhere.
