A £200 million waterfront development has been amended sparking another round of public consultation.

The proposal for Town Quay in Southampton includes a five-star hotel, flats, spa, restaurants and bars.

Nicolas James Group first submitted its application to the city council in January.

After concerns were raised by consultees, the developer has now tabled changes to address feedback.

In response to comments by the council’s urban design manager, the proposed demolition on the site would now involve buildings at the northern end of Town Quay pier.

A letter submitted by agents Luken Beck MDP said this would create a “larger and enhanced open area”.

When combined with the area in front of Harbour House, this would create an “attractive focal point” and enhanced entrance, the agents said.

The alterations also include making it clear that the scheme features a helipad on the roof of the proposed hotel building.

Following feedback from the Environment Agency, a revised flood risk assessment has been submitted.

Updates have been made to the applicant’s environmental statement after issues were raised by Natural England.

The proposed scheme features 460 flats spread across four tower blocks, which would overlook the marina.

The plans also include a new passenger terminal for the Red Jet ferry service and an extension of the existing marina to increase the number of berths.

An initial public consultation on the application attracted 24 resident objections and a handful of comments in support.

Lengthy responses were provided by officers from various council departments and statutory consultees.

Nicolas James Group said the plans include a contribution to affordable housing in the city and key worker housing.

The local authority’s housing team said the scheme had an affordable housing requirement of 161 dwellings.

They said it was disappointing the applicant was not proposing to deliver any such homes on the site.

A statement submitted by the developer said a financial viability assessment found the scheme cannot provide on-site affordable housing.

Including the requested level of affordable housing would lead to a £27million reduction in return, based on a scenario considered by the developer.

The applicant has committed to paying a financial contribution to the city council, with the local authority deciding where to spend it.

The project would create around 1,000 jobs and “deliver a major economic boost to the city”, the developer has said.

The deadline for responses on the council’s planning portal in the re-consultation period is May 27.
