Carillion is lined up to deliver the scheme, which will sustain around 650 construction jobs.
The major scheme has been divided into three zones which will be phase over several years.
Zone One would comprise the majority of the development, covering the more southern and central parts of the site.
It would include a mix of commercial and non-commercial uses such as 291 residential units, an Everyman Cinema, 12 commercial units and food and drink establishments.
