PLANS have been submitted to convert an empty commercial unit into a one bedroom apartment in Weston.

The plans, which were validated by the council on December 14, concern 13 Orchard Street.

The application's Flood Risk Assessment, submitted by Gibson Architecture on behalf of Mr Mann, reads: "The site currently comprises a retail unit, with maisonette above. 

"The site has been identified by the EA as being at low risk of fluvial and tidal flooding, due to the presence of substantial flood defences.

"In the unlikely event of flooding the occupants would receive flood warnings and be advised to head toward flood zone 1 which is at Alexandra Parade, about 100m south of the site."
