Last year, plans were submitted for the demolition of the Liquid / Envy nightclub on New Bridge Street, (but preserving the listed John Dobson House and portico) and replacing it with student flats, as I described here in more detail: http://novumcastellum.blogspot.co.uk/2014/01/end-of-era-for-newcastle-city-night-spot.html.
I thought that work had commenced on this project last month, as there was a lot of activity around the area with construction workers eyeing up the entire structure with theodolites. There also appeared to be some drilling going on. But now its all gone quiet again. It was obviously an in depth structural survey prior to new plans for the site being submitted to the council at the back end of June.
The plans appear to be very similar to the ones last year (although there are no artist impressions like those which accompanied the previous planning application). There are fewer flats to be built, but they are to be housed in taller blocks than those shown above.
