The site comprises a former electricity works converted into a mixed-use development of 107 homes and new commercial space. The site also consists of warehouses and buildings in light industrial use.
The Old Electricity works is a listed building. The design of the scheme responded sensitively to the retained building – which dates back to the early 20th century – by using a red brick palette at plinth level for the new blocks.
