Genting Casino in Terminus Terrace, Southampton, is seeking permission to extend up into the disused first and second floor.

The upper floors at the Grade II listed building Terminus House – built in 1839-40 – have been largely empty for 13 years and have deteriorated, the applicants said. But now the casino is set to breathe new life into the building, with the disused first floor becoming a new gaming area with a bar lounge.

The second floor will become new staff rooms, with staff welfare facilities.
