Offices in Storrington could be converted into flats

Prior approval for the conversion of the offices in West Street into two flats is currently being sought from Horsham District Council.

The office building is situated within Storrington Conservation Area but agents say that the conversion would not have a detrimental impact on the area.

And they point out that neighbouring properties have already been converted into residential use and that planning permission was originally granted for the offices to be converted into flats in 2001 but was never implemented.

They add in a statement to the council: “The proposals do not propose any external alterations and as such, the conservation area remains unaffected.”
