Town centre office accommodation occupied by a bank at ground-floor level with the upper floors being vacant. Opportunity identified for conversion of the first- and second-floors of the property, bringing redundant floorspace back into use. An increased yield would recognise the likelihood of an apartment scheme, fitting give the central location within Berwick town centre. Planning permission was granted for conversion of the first and second floors into 6 flats in 2017 (17/04396/FUL). The bank will remain in situ at ground-floor level and is not impacted by this proposal. After securing planning permission, it is understood the site was sold, with the new developer to progress with the permitted project. Works commenced in September 2020. Development of 6 dwellings completed in 2024/25.
