The hybrid application is seeking detailed permission to create 1,550 homes off Dantzic Street and outline permission for a further 3,250 houses over 30 acres of largely brownfield land.
The plan, which also includes 160,000 sq ft of commercial and community facilities, is one of the largest residential schemes to be brought forward in the city in recent years.

Subject to the planning, works for the first stage of development could start on site early in 2024, with construction phased over a number of years.
New high rise flats planned for Dantzic Street site
Plots NT02 – NT04 along Dantzic Street will be the first major area of Red Bank to take shape and include five high-rise buildings ranging from 20-storeys to 34 storeys with a further five mid-rise buildings.
The site is adjacent to FEC’s Victoria Riverside scheme. This is currently under construction and when finished will deliver 600 new apartments spread across a family of three towers and two podium buildings.
Architect Hawkins\Brown and Maccreanor Lavington are working on the designs for this area of Red Bank.
Hilary Brett, project director at FEC, said: “There is huge opportunity to enhance what already exists and to create a vibrant neighbourhood. We want to integrate and re-connect 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.”
