Plans Submitted to Transform Dalton Pharmacy Building Into New Flats

​

A planning application has been submitted for a development project in Dalton that aims to repurpose an existing pharmacy building by creating residential flats above the shop premises. The application seeks permission to alter the upper floors of the property to provide new housing units, addressing local interest in additional homes. The proposal would keep the ground floor in use as a pharmacy, ensuring continued access to essential services for local residents.

The plans reflect a wider trend in the area where under‑used upper floors of commercial buildings are being considered for residential use to help meet housing needs.

The local planning authority will now review the application, taking into account factors such as design, impact on neighbouring properties and suitability of the site for residential conversion.
