\n The branch shut its doors in August 2023, citing declining customer numbers and a shift to online banking.\n<\/p>\n
\n The building has been left vacant ever since, with the inside gutted and the ATM on the wall removed.\n<\/p>\n
\n A planning application was put forward by Ms Seema Jand to give the property a new lease of life.\n<\/p>\n
\n This involves the creation of a flat on the first floor, with a bedroom, kitchen, living space and toilet all included.\n<\/p>\n
\n The development will also see alterations being made to the ground floor to create an updated office space.\n<\/p>\n
\n A design and access statement said the proposals would “not result in a detrimental external impact on neither the host building nor the wider street scene”.\n<\/p>\n
\n The statement added they will benefit the site in terms of maintenance, refurbishment and increasing the economic viability.\n<\/p>\n
