Revised plans for student flats in Inverness city centre have been submitted to Highland Council.
A previous application by Inverness Properties to build three blocks of flats on the same sites was refused by councillors last year because of concerns that one of the buildings would be eight storeys high.
The developer appealed the decision but a Scottish Government reporter rejected the plans.
Now revised proposals have been submitted featuring a single block which would house 100 students over four floors, as well as shops and a restaurant on the ground floor.
The new block would be built on the site of the former Rose Street Hall and car deck, which would both be demolished as part of the project.
The plans include provision for 75 parking spaces for the public, a net loss of 120 spaces when the demolition of the car deck is taken into account.
A transport statement submitted with the planning application said it was “not considered necessary or desirable” to include dedicated car parking for residents in the city centre.
Instead students will be encouraged to make use of public transport, while bicycle storage will also be provided.
The proposed building would be scaled down from initial plans – but would still be higher than the adjacent Rose Street multi-storey car park.
Inverness building consultant Gary Johnston, who is handling the application for Inverness Properties, said: “The new plans have reduced considerably the height of the building.
“It will be no higher than the buildings in Strothers Lane.”
A design statement submitted with the application described the design of the building as “contemporary”, describing the facade as “visually dynamic so as not to present a monolithic form, allowing it to sit sympathetically within an already fragmented and variable skyline”.
The block is part of an ambitious plan by Inverness Properties to create a student quarter in the city centre.
Construction started last month on another six-storey block developed by Inverness Properties, which was granted permission in 2012.
This block is being built on land at the back of the Panasonic store and will house 105 students from the new student year.
The University of the Highlands and Islands have also started work on their own 150 bed accommodation block at Inverness Campus.
