A planning application (P/2022/2379) has been submitted for a new mixed residential and commercial development at 24 Commerce Road.
Euthenia Developments Ltd want to demolish the two-storey office building known as Manderson House and two pitched roof metal sheds used for car storage for a car rental business and build to blocks up to nine storeys high around a central courtyard.
There would be 111 flats in the development which has been dubbed Maker’s Yard, ranging from studios to three bedroom units, 71 of which the developer wants to reserve for the private market with 14 (mainly studios) for shared ownership and 28 for social rent.

The apartments will generally have a west facing view as well as looking out over a central courtyard which will include a children’s playground.
Part of the development on the lower levels will be reserved for light industrial use with the developer suggesting it could be used for purposes such as boat chandlery and metalworks, furniture repair, ceramics or bicycle repair.

The building will be the tallest in the area although an approved scheme to be built on the opposite side of the road will be eight storeys high.
