Fresh plans to create 150 new homes on the former BT site in Bibb Way in Ipswich have been revealed.
The latest plans come as the council continues its hopes to develop the 4.3 acre site off Handford Road, which its commercial arm Ipswich Borough Assets bought for £4.1million last year.
The company had initially planned to solely convert the main building into 78 flats and maisonettes in a £10.5m development, before extending plans to also construct houses on site.
