Developers Comprop want to redevelop the the former Ann Street Brewery site, which is a site of special interest, into a 70,000-square-foot supermarket – with the operator yet to be decided – with a café and seven floors of car parking, and 30 flats.

Property company C Le Masurier recently announced plans to demolish the Odeon cinema in the nearby Bath Street as part of a £40 million development of flats, shops and restaurants.
