There are plans to bring the unused former Mullion Nursery building back into use by converting it into flats.

Submitted by Oliver & Charkham of Kiteley Homes Ltd – the planning application outlines plans for four flats to revive the building and give it a long-term sustainable future.

The building on Nansmellyon Road has been used for a variety of uses, including a youth club prior to the YMCA taking it over. It was last used as a nursery and coffee shop.

The applicant hopes to make the flats a positive addition to the local community, a design proposal that is appropriate for the area, a solution that will not cause harm to the Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, a sustainable parking solution, and a positive step forward for the former nursery.

Designs of the building exterior will remain largely unchanged except for improvements to the fabric of replacement doors and windows, together with additional roof windows over the bedroom areas.

Proposed windows and roof windows will not overlook any private amenity areas of the neighbouring residential properties.

The applicant is also taking on a community consultation to listen to residents' views on the proposal. They will be attending the next Parish Council meeting and approaching the neighbouring property owners to explain the proposals.
