PLANS to turn one of the town centre's most prominent office blocks into flats have been approved.
Regent House, which was formerly council offices and then the base for Raleys solicitors, on Regent Street, has been subject of two applications.One would see it turned into 54 one bedroom flats, or alternatively 35 one or two bedroom flats.
The lower ground floor of the six storey building is earmarked as a 2,840 sq ft 'retail area'.

We have been at the heart of our community, every week, since 1858. The town and its people have changed dramatically since then but the Chronicle has been a constant.
It’s our belief that news should be available to everyone regardless of their circumstance. But we need a little helping hand to do so.
Production Editor, Ashley Ball, said: "In an ever changing media world, it’s important that news is reported correctly and without any hidden agenda.
Your support allows us to keep holding decision-makers to account and report on everything that happens in the town, good or bad, fairly."
