A PLAN has been submitted to convert a building used for storage into two two-bedroomed apartments and a shop.

Applicant Mark Gilligan of Kitchen Design Centre, submitted the proposal to Pendle Council to convert the property in Gisburn Road, Barrowford.

The plan includes using the retail space as a kitchen show room.

In a planning letter, a spokesman on behalf of the applicant said the first floor will be changed from an apartment and storage space to two separate self-contained flats.

The shop would be open 9.30am to 6pm Monday to Friday and 9.30am to 5.50pm on Saturdays.

The plan is expected to be discussed by the council in the next few weeks.

The number of jobs the shop would create has not been revealed.
