Plans revealed for new flats above former pharmacy in town centre |
Developers are hoping to convert the upper floors of the former Well Pharmacy in North Walsham's Market Place into three flats in a bid to North Norfolk District Council.
The proposal, submitted by Divine Lettings, also includes two shops on the ground floor and the reinstatement of blocked openings across the grade-II listed building.
A planning statement said: "The project aims to secure the long-term viable use of the building while ensuring the continued conservation of its architectural and historic significance."

The flats will include one one-bedroom and two two-bedroom properties.
The bid has sparked concerns from the environment protection officer due the existing take-away next door, which is "likely to cause noise and odour impacts" for those living in the proposed flats.
The officer said: "I would request that the developer provide details about how the occupiers of the proposed flats will be protected against significant adverse impact from the adjoining take-away kitchen extract emissions."
The council will make a decision in due course.
