Two office blocks could be converted to homes if planning officers approve plans.

Blocks 6 and 7 in Bluecoats Avenue would become six one-bedroomed and six two-bedroomed flats in the plans.
The proposals follow an extended period of vacancy and a declining market for office space in the town.
Update: Planning permission was granted on 7th November 2012.
