It was to be across a four storey and seven storey structure with the upper floors housing the flats, split by an internal courtyard and parking area.
But planners refused the application saying it would overdevelop the site, the proposed heights were too tall, and the design was not good enough for the prime conservation area it sits in.
Some flats would have too little daylight and restricted views, with 25 objects also raising similar concerns in letters of comment during the consultation stage.
But now the applicant has scaled back the plans, reducing the number of apartments to 16 – one, two, and three beds – following further discussion with the Planning Service.
A storey has also been knocked off each block, with the tallest proposed to only stretch to six floors.
The designers have also adjusted window positioning to ensure better east coast views and additional sunlight, while reducing overlooking of neighbouring buildings.
The States’ archaeologist previously identified that the site is likely to hide neolithic, prehistoric, and Roman evidence, with an excavation likely to be recommended again after demolition occurs.
