A plan to convert a Salvation Army hall in St Leonards into flats is among the latest planning applications received by council planners.

The application, reference number is HS/PA/26/00206, seeks prior approval for the change of use of the old Salvation Army Hall in Menzies Road.

If approved, the proposal would convert the existing commercial premises into seven residential flats.

In a separate application, HS/FA/26/00178, permission is being sought for the installation of a new window on the front elevation of Flat 10, 12 Brittany Road.

Environmental and landscaping works are also under review. Application HS/TP/26/00207 relates to tree management at 6 Summer Hill, where plans include reducing the crown of a beech tree by four metres and reshaping it, alongside reducing the height of a yew tree by 1.8 metres.

Application HS/PR/26/00176 requests a Certificate of Proposed Lawful Development. The plans involve a loft conversion at 40 Eversley Crescent, including a hip-to-gable extension and the addition of a rear dormer window.

Finally, community safety measures are proposed under application HS/FA/26/00149.

This would see the installation of a defibrillator and bleed kit cabinets on the external wall of the Nationwide Building Society branch at 38-40 London Road.
