IN its latest application, CGI wants to build up to 85 homes, a 130-bed hotel and a conference centre at the "Western Heights".

The reconstruction of the Victoria Halls would provide nine homes, while the historic Drop Redoubt would become a museum and visitor centre.

Outline permission is also being sought for up to 521 homes, a 90-apartment retirement village and health facility at Great Farthingloe Farm. The barn would become a pub and restaurant, with a stable block becoming a shop and the farmhouse being used for bed and breakfast.
