The design was chosen following an open architectural competition in 1951 that saw 178 entries. The winning scheme comprised an 11-storey block – a deliberate landmark feature – along with a further 12, lower level blocks and a community centre. All were configured with an inward looking layout situated around a series of pedestrian courts.
Following feedback from our previous engagement, we have refined our proposals to renew and reopen the leisure centre. We would now like to share these updated plans with you before we submit a planning application, targeting late October 2026.
