New plans have been submitted to build flats above a recently closed pornography and sex toy shop near the town centre.
Four flats are planned above the former pornography and sex toy shop ‘Private Shop’ at 108 Southampton Street.
Similar plans were withdrawn in September, although the applicant has contradictorily suggested they were both refused and withdrawn by the council.
On behalf of the applicant, Colony Architects said: “Following the refusal of [the previous application], the previous flat roof modern design has been replaced with a more traditional pitched roof and traditionally proportioned elevations to be more sensitive to the listed building and setting.
