Cross and Craig Associates have applied to change the official use of the building at 16a Station Road, to the back of buildings fronting Station Road, so it can be used as a bar that serves food. 

It is also seeking listed building consent for alterations including a new mezzanine level, new patio doors, pizza ovens and timber staircase. 

Its application said: “The change of use will give this redundant building a lease of life. 

"No changes are proposed to any historic fabric and the works will have no negative impact on the appearance of the listed building.”
