The homes will have open-plan living and dining room areas and balconies.
An outdoor courtyard will be shared between the residents of the three flats, which will each have their own private entrances.
Pump House Designs, on behalf of P and Y Austin Investments Ltd, said the site will have secure storage for bicycles and bins, however there will be no car parking.
In a bid to be environmentally friendly, P and Y Austin Investments said the building will incorporate hidden solar panels on the main flat roof to generate energy.
