Plans have been submitted to build an extra floor above a group of shop units in Hoylake for apartments.
The proposal would create six flats over two floors on Market Street.
An application submitted to Wirral Council states it is for “the change of use and conversion of first floor, and the construction of an additional storey, to form 6 apartments with external alterations to comprise roof terrace, additional windows and the formation of a covered external access stair.”
Four of the apartments would be comprised of one bedroom, with the remainder having two bedrooms.
One of the ground floor units was formerly occupied by children’s store Babylicious, which moved to a new location in Moreton earlier this year.
The ground floor will continue to be used for retail.
The application can be viewed at https://online.wirral.gov.uk/planning/index.html?fa=getApplication&id=230835.
