A vacant shop in Brentwood may soon reopen as a restaurant. Plans submitted seek to divide the existing building for restaurant use while approving the construction of 13 flats above. The proposal includes minimal external works, primarily the installation of an extraction vent that will not be visible from the conservation area. The renovation will enhance the shop's front elevation. Minor internal alterations are also proposed with no impact on surrounding listed buildings. Overall, there will be improvements to the property's rear appearance.
Plans have been submitted to Brentwood Council to divide an empty shop building, enabling a restaurant operation at the front while developing 13 flats above.
The planning statement noted that only an extraction vent is needed for the front area, which is not visible from the conservation area.
Permitting the change of use will allow the building to be brought back into use and the notable shop front to be renovated.
The application involves minor internal works, and there are no adjacent listed buildings that could be affected.
