The proposals provide a new mixed‐use development scheme within the Town Centre which enhances the retail provision to the town and improves viability to provide new employment opportunities. The development is a two‐storey development which is split providing a new convenience store at ground floor level which has a proposed retail provision of 418 sq.m supported by a back of house storage facility of 190 sq.m.

At second floor level, off an independent access, residential accommodation with new apartments provides a mixture of one and two bedroomed apartments. The new development is positioned at the upper level of the site out of the flood plain area with deliveries also being at the upper level from a vehicle layby positioned on the upper level. Due to its unique location abutting an existing car park in the centre of the town, the scheme utilises the existing car parking facilities.
