The proposals put forward for the 25 acre site by developer and investor, Scarborough International Properties, were given the green light by council planners on Thursday of last week.
This will bring 189 homes in two tower blocks to the Northern side of the canal, directly opposite to stage 1.
One tower will be 10 stories high, with the second being 12 stories.
Stage 2 of the development was topped out earlier this year in February, just before the lockdown measures were implemented.
It is hoped that phase 3 will now commence construction in early 2021 thanks to BCEGi (Beijing Construction Engineering Group International who are to over see the build.
Development Director at Scarborough, Paul Kelly, said:

“We are delighted to secure consent to move forward with phase three as part of our full commitment to deliver the grand vision that is Middlewood Locks.
“This development is providing much-needed homes in the city with fantastic doorstep amenity that remains in high demand. It also provides high-quality commercial and office space that will compliment and add to the existing offer at Middlewood Locks.”
Once completed, the 25-acre Middlewood Locks development will provide a total of 2,215 new homes and 900,000 sq ft of commercial space, including offices, hotel, shops, restaurants, a convenience store and gym.
Overall, the site has a gross development value of more than £700m, according to the developers.
