New plans to revamp a former shoe factory in Norwich city centre have been resubmitted after planning permission had expired.
Revised plans could see 54 three-storey homes and more than 25,000sqft of retail and office space created at St George's Works, off Muspole Street.
It comes after plans submitted in 2021 to develop it, along with St Mary's Works in Duke Street, were put on hold after planning permission expired.
The site's developers, Our Place, said in a planning application submitted to Norwich City Council that they felt the scheme would create jobs in the area while also retaining heritage assets.
Changes from the developers' first application include verticle terraced houses replacing large horizontal buildings on the edge of Muspole Street, while its courtyard has been redesigned to make it less "car-dominated" and regimented.
Our Place has promised significant environmental investment and a solar microgrid which it hopes will reduce energy costs for those living and working there.

Work will see the site's central depository transformed into an "industrial-style" workspace with the development's main entrance located under the existing tower.
A new building will be built close to the Weavers Arms pub and St George Colegate church to act as a gateway for the site, while adding a public square close to the boozer's beer garden.

Walkways will be created throughout the site in order to avoid creating "an exclusive gated community feel".
The site's current Colegate entrance will see a glazed shopfront installed in order to make the area "more welcoming".
The St George's Works Enterprise Hub currently hosts 300 workers but demand for office space has been increasing.
Those wishing to comment on plans have until September 8 with hopes a decision can be made by November 7.
If approved by the city council work is expected to be complete by 2027.
