MORE artist's impressions have been released of the proposed 120-home development on Garth Lane in Grimsby.
They have been prepared by the Newcastle-based IDPartnership on behalf of Keepmoat Homes which is keen to crack on with the scheme.
However, ahead of a planning decision being made by North East Lincolnshire Council, a range of consultees have been chipping in with comments.
For instance, Humberside Fire and Rescue are seeking reassurances that there will be sufficient water hydrants and good access to the site.
While not objecting to the project, the council's heritage officer has sounded a note of caution about how well a residential estate will sit alongside a site of historic maritime and industrial importance.
Meanwhile, bosses at the fishing heritage centre are concerned that its premises might be lost to view, obscured by housing, and there are also worries from other sources about pressure on access and parking.
NELC's ecology unit and the Lincolnshire Wildlife Trust seem relaxed about the development, and the developer will be relieved that a survey has revealed no presence of water voles, a highly-protected species, on the River Freshney which runs along the site.
The proposed redevelopment is part of wider Grimsby regeneration aspirations, and NELC's leadership has made no secret of its wish for planning permission to be granted as soon as possible so that works can proceed.

| Some of the apartments will have grand views of the River Freshney and Freshney Place |

| Plenty of space to cycle or jog - that's the plan |
