Closed high street shop could be turned into house -- all the latest Ashfield plans

The shop formerly occupied the ground floor of 22 High Street in Stanton Hill, with a flat upstairs. But it is currently out of use and has been vacant for some time.

Now the council has received a change-of-use planning application from Aurel Capo, 38-year-old director of the Chilwell-based company, AC Property Renovations Ltd, to convert the whole property into a residential house.

An objection has been submitted by a resident on nearby Albert Street who says the area is “already heavily populated with residential properties, such as HMOs (houses in multiple occupation).

He adds: “It would make more logical sense to keep the property as a commercial business or shop due to its location on High Street.”

Nottinghamshire County Council has informed Ashfield that it has no objection to the scheme on highway grounds because the number of parking spaces would not change.

Ashfield’s planning officers are now considering the proposal and hope to make a decision or recommendation before their deadline date of Thursday, October 30.
