The site has been divided into three sections with the northern third being allocated for a more modest replacement church Ref. 3023/19 and was approved by the Council in 2020. The southern section is for a potential Primary Care Centre.

The construction will provide one apartment block, ranging from 4 to 5 storeys, containing:
