Not only is Premier Inn being replaced with two tower blocks, now Debenhams will be ripped down and replaced with two tower blocks.

These will really dominate the skyline in that area of the city.

    two blocks of 520 new homes

    Surely that’s a good thing?

        I was firmly in the camp of ‘why isn’t there enough really affordable homes/lets’ but a post I saw the other day made me consider a different point of view…

        As long as the homes are inhabited, building unaffordable isn’t necessarily a bad thing as it increases the housing stock overall.

        mean 104 of the 520 should be designated to a housing association to rent out.
