Plans have been lodged to replace the former Texaco petrol station on Hove’s Kingsway and Victoria Terrace with a nine storey building containing 55 apartments, designed by LCE Architects.
The application has been jointly submitted by residential developer Rocco Homes and the Co-Op supermarket, presumably indicating that the scheme will feature a new Co-Op in the 375sqm retail floorspace.
In addition to the new build, the application also plans to convert the upper floors of the Alibi pub into 4 flats, with the ground floor being either a pub or a retail unit. This brings the total number of flats up to 59, all of which are currently proposed as private units.
