Redevelopment work is underway to turn a former accountancy firm’s offices into four homes.

Large bags of rubble have been parked outside the premises of 28 Roundstone Street in Trowbridge, which was given permission for a change of use from business to dwelling house earlier in the year.

Proposals, including layout plans, to turn the old Innervision Accountancy into four homes were approved in January, after the applicant filed an application for in July last year.

According to the planning application the proposals is to transform the old offices into a “car-free development”.

The application form reads: “The redevelopment of the property is intended to create 4x independent dwellings within the existing property footprint.

“There will be no noteworthy alterations made to the exterior of the property to impact the character of the street.

“The proposed dwellings will be comprised of 4x flats across 2x levels. There will be 2x 2-beds, a 1x 1-bed and 1x studio flat.

“The property is a car-free development and provisions for the safe and covered storage of bicycles will be provided to all residents in the outbuilding within the courtyard to the rear.”

The application form states the change of use had no impact on transport and highways, no contamination risks, not any flood risks.

On January 22, Wiltshire Council issued a decision notice granting the development, with no conditions included in the document.
