Demolition crews have now levelled the site of what was once one of Peterborough most popular nightclubs for many years.

The Northminster site will now be turned into a development of flats.

Plans were originally for the building to be replaced by a three-storey and seven-storey accommodation blocks, providing 56 apartments, rooms for 77 students, plus restaurants, retail outlets and 36 basement parking spaces.

But now the plans have been re-drawn, with plans for the main accommodation block on the site of The Solstice have been increased to ten storeys, with the project in total comprising of 124 one and two-bedroom apartments (40 and 84 respectively), all of which are now intended for private rather than student use.
