Landmark building given go-ahead
25 Oct 2006
PLANS for a building on the Paradise Street development were passed yesterday by the city council.
Grosvenor wants to create a curved apartment block on Strand Street, ranging in height from five storeys to 17.
The glazed building design went before the planning committee in April, but was revised after advice from English Heritage.
The tower was originally supposed to be 20 storeys high, but was reduced by three because of concerns over its impact on the World Heritage Site. Two park side terraces have now also been included.
Grosvenor must start work on the scheme within three years.
