THE grade-four listed building in New Street which once housed the Townhouse pub could be partly demolished and replaced with 26 apartments.

According to plans submitted by Castletree Group on behalf of Peter Le Fol Du Taillis, if the application is approved it is envisaged that the 1930s Art Deco façade of the building would be retained with similarly styled balconies being added.
The proposed residential development – made up of six studio, 12 one-bedroom and eight two-bedroom apartments – would then be built within the central core of the site.
It follows a similar development further up the street where the former 1937 Playhouse Theatre – which closed in 1963 – was converted into 30 apartments in 2006 with the original façade being retained. The same technique has also been used on the former Southampton Hotel at the Weighbridge – now home to The Square restaurant.
