The application, submitted by Associated British Ports (ABP), seeks to vary a condition of previously granted permission related to the design of the northern welfare facility within the Wet Dock area. Plans at Neptune Quay have been deferred by the council. The key change under the revised application is the use of modular construction for the northern welfare facility, as opposed to a more traditional build. The deferred application is the latest step in the delivery of the wider regeneration of the Wet Dock and surrounding marina. A previous application to vary the same condition was withdrawn following concerns raised by stakeholders.
