The future of a Ryde High Street store is in doubt a month after its national chain went into administration.
Plans have been submitted by Round Island Ltd, a London-based charity, to demolish half of M&Co and build houses on its delivery yard.
The Island branch is still open but is holding a closing-down sale as a buyer is sought for the business.
Planning agent, Dean Parkman Architecture, on behalf of Round Island, said as the business is in administration it is expected the Ryde branch will become vacant imminently.
Under the proposed scheme, the rear part of M&Co could be demolished; four one-bed flats built into the space above the shop and a smaller shop premises retained on the High Street.
The current rear of the shop is said to be redundant so it would be demolished to make way for houses around the corner on John Street.
It is proposed five three-bed, three-storey houses are built filling the gap in buildings on the street.
The planning agents say the houses would have subtle architectural details mimicking the surrounding properties, including sliding sash windows.
The shopfront on the High Street would be mainly unchanged, but it is proposed to replace a window with an access door leading to the flats above.
According to the planning agent, the scheme was first put to the Isle of Wight Council in May last year to receive feedback in pre-application advice but no feedback was given.
You can view the plans, 22/02300/FUL, on the Isle of Wight Council’s planning register. Comments can be made until February 10.
