Minister passes plan for Waterfront flats

Senator Freddie Cohen announced his decision at a planning panel public meeting this morning. It means that the development of 59 flats – in four six-storey blocks and one four-story block – can now go ahead.

The Zephyrus scheme, designed by Hopkins Architects, will be built next to the already approved development of luxury apartments named Westwater, which when built will sit next to the hotel.

WEB has said that Zephyrus would cost about £25 million to build and that the flats would vary in size from 525 sq ft up to 3,150 sq ft. The scheme will provide a total of 127 bedrooms.
