The Rocheway development site is currently occupied by a vacant former Adult Community Learning (ACL) centre building and ancillary space (which was decommissioned in July 2015), and has an overall development area of 2.55 acres (1.033 Ha). The proposed development has been considered by Full Planning Application (Ref No's: 17/00102/FUL and supplementary application 17/00907/FUL) as part of a larger scheme but will be progressed as two separate construction delivery phases.
