FORGOTTEN HISTORY: Developers slash eight storeys off controversial ouseburn tower development after public backlash - Caught on Camera

Visions of a huge tower that could have been built at the mouth of the Ouseburn have been heavily scaled back under new plans unveiled by developers.

There was a public backlash to a proposed 18-storey apartment block earmarked for the vacant Malmo Quay site after dramatic designs were revealed last year, with locals branding the scheme a “monstrosity”. But the 223ft landmark has now been axed in favour of a "more modest" building after developer PfP-igloo promised to redraw its proposals, having seen the original project attract an overwhelming level of objections.

New images released on Wednesday instead showcase a “carefully redesigned” 10-storey block, which would contain 43 homes, in place of the tower.
