The large-scale scheme, first proposed in 2018, has recently been amended by planning agents Hybrid Planning & Development on behalf of developer PVD2 Limited.

Planning permission for the project was granted in April 2022. The plans involve demolishing the disused pub to make way for a block containing 76 individual 'bed spaces', complemented by shared kitchens, living areas and a gym for residents. No onsite parking is included.
