Plans for 6 new Peterborough city centre flats submitted

An application has been sent into the city council to convert office space on the upper floors above Century 21 and City & County in Cowgate to six residential units.

The application states: “The development is an opportunity for providing a net increase in housing within Peterborough and re-use of otherwise redundant office accommodation.”

This is the second time plans for 4-6 Cowgate have been submitted this year after an earlier application was rejected by the council due to “adverse noise impacts”.

The latest plans include a noise assessment from Cass Allen Associates which concludes: “There are no noise related reasons why planning permission should not be granted in this instance.”

The Peterborough Telegraph revealed earlier this year that proposals for six flats in the same building as the former Colemans store in Cowgate had been submitted.

However, the application has now been withdrawn.
