Plans for the proposed redevelopment, designed by DSDHA architects, outlines the replacement of the existing ‘Hog In The Pound’ pub with a new mixed-use retail, office and residential scheme. The new development will comprise a retail unit extending over the basement, ground and first floors of the building, with a further four floors of office and residential accommodation above, totalling circa 9,000 sq ft NIA.

Sean Slade, Managing Director of Appley, comments: “This is a world class site, located in one of the most prominent retail destinations in the West End, which benefits from an annual footfall of close to 20 million. We are creating a striking new eco building which will transform this important gateway.”

Jim Worsfold, Associate Director of Kenmore Property Group, adds: “We are delighted to secure consent for this landmark scheme. The proposed development is architecturally bold whilst being respectful of its sensitive surroundings, and will provide a significant improvement to both South Molton Street and Davies Street.”
