A WEYMOUTH upholstery workshop could be demolished to make way for ten one-bed flats.
An outline application for 12 Queen Street asks if the development might be allowed in principle and is now open for consultation until September 14.
A decision is expected to be made by a planning officer under delegated powers.
The site is roughly triangular and opposite the junction with Stanley Street. The current workshop user is hoping to retire.
A letter to Dorset Council on behalf of the owners says the change could improve the area and provide additional homes: “The site will soon be vacant. A tired looking structure could be demolished and new building raised with flood resilient construction. The land is in a sustainable location with shops, doctor’s surgery, pharmacy, train station all nearby. There are good footpath links and flood risk will be minimised.”
