DEVELOPER Orchard Homes is hoping to build a third apartment complex in Winchester Road, Southampton after the first two were quickly snapped up by eager buyers.

The company has applied for planning permission for a site at 236 Winchester Road after projects at Surrey Point and number 444.

Sales director Spencer Drake said: "Demand for the area is always high.

"Both Surrey Point and 444 are very different to one another and were designed to suit their position in the landscape. We hope to be able to provide something equally exciting at 236.''
