PLANS have been submitted to turn a former Winchester pub turned restaurant in six flats.

The proposals, for El Sabio in Eastgate Street, follow a previous five-flat scheme being approved by Winchester City Council planners earlier this year.

Previously the Mash Tun pub, the last application proved controversial with a number of objectors raising parking issues.

According to the most recent plans, the development would be the same as the previous scheme, but would have a new first-floor rear extension built to create a sixth flat.

Currently no comments either in support or objecting to the plans have been received.

A decision is expected by July 12.
