A WINCHESTER architect has drawn up new plans for the controversial redevelopment of the Mildmay veterinary clinic in the city.
Huw Thomas has produced a scheme for 12 large town houses on Eastgate Street.
The previous scheme was vigorously opposed mainly because it included the demolition of the former Mildmay pub.
That idea was dropped when the pub received grade-two listing because of the clock under the gable.
The revised scheme does include the demolition of two 19th century houses which have been allowed to decay and the former Fads shop which will be replaced by three houses.
The scheme, to be built by Try Homes, has been an unusual one for Mr Thomas who is best-known for almost single-handedly saving Peninsula Barracks from demolition.
A well-known conservation architect, his schemes are rarely so controversial.
