The new proposals will see the homes built in a 22-storey tower and a nine-storey adjacent plinth development.
The building will contain 26 one-bedroom, two-person flats; 55 two-bedroom, three-person flats; 66 two-bedroom, four-person flats and 14 larger two-bedroom flats, again for four people.
Thirty-four of the homes would fall into the affordable category.
The scheme also includes landscaping of the site to include a private communal space at ground level with children's play area.
A roof garden would be provided on the top of the plinth.
