More than 80 flats could be built on an office site if new plans are given the green light.

Plans have been submitted to convert Huntercombe Park, in Burnham, into 86 flats with associated parking.

Developers want to build 35 one bedroom, 42 two-bedroom and nine three-bedroom flats on the site in Huntercombe Lane South, after they said the current building was “no longer fit-for-purpose” as it did not “meet the requirements of modern occupiers”.

They also said that despite the former Pfizer Pharmaceuticals site being marketed for five years, there has been no interest from commercial occupiers even with planning permission for it to be redeveloped into modern office accommodation.

The site had been used as an office since the early 1990s.

Developers Aberdeen Asset Management added in the design and access statement that the current car parking area would be enough to provide 137 car parking spaces and 138 cycle parking spaces for the new development.

A decision on the application is expected to be made by September 7.
