Plans have been submitted to convert the office block Mowbray House near Asda into 20 apartments.

The four-story building on Mowbray Square dates from 1995 and would be converted into a mix of one-bedroom and two-bedroom apartments.

Local property developer Jeevani Properties Ltd is behind the plans which have been submitted under permitted development rules. This fast tracks the planning process for office to residential conversions.

In March 2020, former owner of the building P M Whitaker Pension Trust was granted planning permission to turn the offices to into 12 apartments, but then put the building up for sale for £1.25m.

In the latest plans, each of the top three floors would contain four 1-bedroom apartments and two 2-bedroom apartments with the top floor also having a studio apartment.

The ground floor will be opened up for 17 car parking spaces for use by the residents.

The building was home to cashmere clothing company Pure Collection which went into administration in February 2020, closing eight of its stores across the UK.
