Windmill Lane plan appealed

A new plan for the former Windmill Lane studio off Sir John Rogersons Quay has provoked criticism from local resident groups.

Plans for a six-storey office on the site are excessively high and poorly thought out, says Creighton Street Residents Association, one of 15 parties to object to the scheme. The site is home to Windmill Lane Pictures Ltd and formerly housed the studios where U2 recorded their early albums.

The Windmill Hanover Partnership wants to demolish 1-4 Windmill Lane, 1-3 Hanover Street East and 19-20 Creighton Street to make way for the 20,516sq m (220,832sq ft) scheme. A ground level café is proposed at Windmill Lane and a shop at the corner of Hanover St East and Creighton Street.
