The Architect and Principal Designer will be the lead designer and will be required to be the project lead of the wider consultant team.
The site has previously received outline planning permission for a residential quarter of up to 41 new dwellings. A feasibility study has since been undertaken which has explored options to provide 81 dwellings of 1,2 3 and 4 bed flats along with 11 two-storey town houses.
