St Vincent Crescent DEVELOPERS have launched a fresh bid to secure approval for a development at St Vincent Crescent. In what is a third attempt to build flats at the site, plans have been radically altered from initial designs. Owners Nixon Blue hope the changes will be enough to satisfy council planners and the campaigners who opposed the initial scheme. Nixon Blue Director and Architect Colin McIntyre said: “We returned to the drawing board to reduce the height, mass and alter aspects of our original design. We listened to the feedback from stakeholders to our previous plans. We have reduced the number of apartments to 20 as well as removing two storeys to complement the height of surrounding buildings within the crescent.
