SPVKL Appeals Again to Build Flats in King’s Lynn Offices
The council rejected the plans twice last year: first for four flats, then for three in Bishops Lynn House, which faces the Tuesday Market Place.
The council cited concerns about the plans’ quality. In response, the developer appealed to the Planning Inspectorate, which handles planning disagreements.
The developer argues that the building’s structure won’t be damaged and that the current offices are hard to rent due to a lack of toilets.
Despite this, a preservation society still worries about potential damage. The council’s initial concerns included the flat sizes, which they felt would be tiny and dark, citing poor design as a main reason. They also worried about noise from nearby town events like Festival Too, which could disturb the flat residents.
