Earlier this month, Shropshire Council submitted the second planning application for the Smithfield Riverside regeneration project in Shrewsbury.
The ambitious project seeks to transform the area between the River Severn, the Darwin Centre and Roushill in the town centre.
The first stage of the project, which includes the demolition of the Riverside shopping centre and the former Riverside medical practice and the building of a new public park, is currently underway after being approved earlier this year.
The second planning application is an outline application, which seeks to secure the principle of development for three key plots located between Smithfield Road, Raven Meadows and the new park on Roushill.
Documents reveal that the three mixed-use plots would be built on a podium, providing between 22,127 and 25,501 sqm of space for office, residential or hotel uses.
