The office block, which sits next to The Lamb Hotel, has not seen any interest as it has stood empty for four years.

A statement from Steven Allcock Consulting who have submitted the reports to the city council said: “The proposal therefore seeks to utilise a redundant building in the city centre occupying a highly sustainable location, bringing back into use a prominent building and utilising in an efficient manner.

“This re-use of the building will be a benefit to the community and allow the building to be actively used in the future in a sustainable way.”

Developer David Yual has tabled the plans, which do not include any parking spaces.

You can view the full plans on the council website.
