A former pub will be transformed into a home following a successful planning bid to Wiltshire Council.
The grade II listed Queen’s Head on Kingsbury Street will soon be restored and will become a house after Philip Mickelborough’s planning bid was greenlit.
Most commenters were happy to support the plans and see new life be brought to the brick and tile public house.
Keith Duesbury & Jennifer Jones wrote: “After suffering years of excessive noise and anti-social behaviour emanating from the Queens Head, we are very happy to support this application for change of use to a private dwelling.
“We are sure that Philip and Laura Mickelborough's plans for what is a very neglected building will result in a real improvement to the residential area of St Martins.”
Corinne Jones said: “It will be lovely to see this building restored and used as a family home, it has been underused and then empty for too long.”

James Peacock said: “Sad though it is to see a local amenity disappear, the new owners seem determined to preserve the integrity of the building while changing its use to domestic, perhaps the only way which will guarantee a future for the building.
“I am delighted to see the building survive and enhance the charm of the street.”
Marlborough Town Council did not object to the plans.
