A planning application has been submitted by Hawkfield Homes for the redevelopment of the former CoOp site in Mill Street, Calne.
The application made to Wiltshire Council outlines the developers plans to demolish the building and redevelop it into a residential area to include 26 new homes.
The proposal says that three apartments will have one or two bedrooms while the other houses will have between two and four.
There will also be 50 sqm of commercial space fronting onto Mill Street and car parking spaces for all the houses.
The plans propose the creation of a new pocket park on the site along with new public spaces and pedestrian routes crossing the site and linking up to existing ones.
Two applications to place houses on the site were submitted last year but both were withdrawn in October and faced the same strong opposition.
The site is within Calne Conservation Area and is close to a number of listed buildings but since 2000 planners have seen it as a possible site for residential development. You can view the proposal here: Hawkfield Planning Application
