High Street Shop changing to Residential

A former retail shop at 96 High Street, Milford on Sea, SO41 0QE has had approval to covert the building for residential use.

Most recently the shop was occupied by the Tradewinds Gallery which had  a range of art and decorative items for the home. When this closed the property was used as offices for a short time.

The shop has been unoccupied for five years and no one has been interested in reletting the premises.

The new build will contain a two-storey side extension on a semi-detached property, front dormer windows, a single-storey rear extension and new vehicular access.

It will be interesting to see what the new house will look like, as the current footprint is relatively small and narrows, almost to a point from front to back.

The planning permission has stipulated that the external facing materials need to match those on the existing building.
