Regent's Wharf redevelopment
(Planning ref: P2019/3481/FUL)
Here is an illustration of the proposed canal frontage. The first two buildings are mostly unaltered apart from the additional plant on the rooftops but the third building is a completely new build.
The proposed changes are illustrated in these two aerial views. The canal seems mostly unaffected but the homes to the right will be boxed in once the courtyard is lost.
