The proposal includes the plans for a new hotel development, a residential area for housing, a cinema and retail opportunities within the site.

The hotel will aim to "create a vibrant mix of uses and help support a 24 hour economy, a Hotel has been proposed for the site, with its location also helping to redefine how Cameron Toll is perceived from its surroundings."

The residential area has "been developed to sensitively incorporate a vibrant mix of uses including residential, hotel, retail and leisure. These uses will all contribute to the local community, creating a richer sense of place with improved links to the wider context."

And finally, the existing, single use retail centre will be transformed into a "new local neighbourhood centre which offers a more diverse mixture of leisure, local business outlets and community facilities."
