Plans have been drawn up for the phased demolition and construction of the current buildings to ensure that the existing tenants can be accommodated and retained and in order to avoid too much business disruption. The current buildings will be replaced with a mixture of purpose-built retail units tailored towards the independent nature of the current occupiers. The existing tenants are to be offered first refusal on the new scheme.

A mix of 66 modern and spacious one and two bedroom apartments, including two duplexes, distributed across three floors above the retail units will also be introduced, with thirty-seven residents parking spaces at the rear.

The development, once complete, is designed to reflect and complement the attractive art deco styles of the surrounding areas while residents of both the development and surrounding area will benefit from a completely revitalised high street.
