Walter Frank Properties tabled the house in multiple occupation (HMO) proposal for The Angel in Palmerston Road, Southampton.
The application initially references a 15-bedroom development before subsequently being amended to 11 bedrooms.
A management plan submitted by the applicant said: “We believe The Angel represents a critical step towards addressing the housing affordability crisis, offering a viable, comfortable alternative for young professionals in Southampton.
“We are committed to continuing our work in providing homes that enrich lives and communities.”
The pub building, which sits on the corner with Craven Walk and opposite Palmerston Park, dates back to the 1920s.
A statement prepared on behalf of Walter Frank Properties by Town Planning Expert said the proposal included installation of new windows, doors and railings, internal changes, and new cycle and bin storage.
Plans show that 10 of the bedrooms would benefit from en-suite shower and toilet facilities, while the HMO would have a large shared living and kitchen space on the ground floor.
The site was previously being marketed by leisure property specialist Fleurets at a guide price of £295,000.
Southampton City Council planning officers granted the scheme under delegated powers.
A condition of the planning approval said the HMO must not be occupied by more than 11 people.
