Plans for HSBC building to be stripped out after closing down in the summer

Plans to strip the HSBC building in Ryde, when it closes later this year, have been put forward to the Isle of Wight Council.

The Union Street branch is to close at the end of August.

Planning agent, A&Q Partnership, on behalf of HSBC, said the landlord will submit an application to develop the site in the future.

Strip out the building
In the meantime plans from the bank, submitted to the Isle of Wight Council, would see all existing furniture and internal machines, external signage, CCTV and ATM removed.

The night safe on the front of the building would also be removed and the letterbox sealed up.

After the removal of the ATM, the hole in the wall would be infilled to match the existing facade.

You can view the application, 23/00209/FUL, on the Isle of Wight Council’s planning portal.

The public consultation runs until 17th March.
