I've given this its own thread, rather than placing it in the Baltic Triangle thread, as it seems like, if it comes to pass, it'll be quite a large development.
Anyway, an application has gone in for the re-development of the current YHA youth hostel site, bounded by Hurst Street, Tabley Street, Sparking Street, and Wapping. For those uncertain of the site in question, it's the silver-roofed building in the centre of this image - http://www.bing.com/maps/?v=2&cp=53.3978840988423~-2.9858275131977337&lvl=19&sty=h
The application reads -
Although there is a fair amount of open space around the existing youth hostel, clearly to fit all of the above on that site is going to require a building several storeys taller than the existing three storey youth hostel. Together with the new Hampton by Hilton on the site diagonally opposite, this should make a valuable contribution to the regeneration of the Baltic Triangle.
