The new homes would be available for private rent, and would include landscaped areas and bike and bin stores for residents.

Modern City Architecture & Urbanism, on behalf of Placefirst, said: "The brief by the client was to create a viable residential apartment scheme on a site that has been vacant for a number of years whilst integrating the scheme within the local context and providing a better mix and type of housing offer.

"As per the client's other recently developed sites nearby in Morecambe (West End 1 & 2), the scheme will provide high quality homes for private rent."
