FEC project director Hilary Brett said: “Red Bank is a unique area of the city, with the existing natural assets of the River Irk and St Catherine’s Wood, as well as being home to some fantastic businesses in the railway arches.

“There is huge opportunity to enhance what already exists and to create a vibrant neighbourhood.

“We want to integrate and reconnect Red Bank with the city centre to transform the area into a desirable place to live and visit.

“Our proposals are the outcome of over 18 months of design development and community engagement, and we hope the plans are positively received.”
