Plan for flats above shopping centre are approved
GoogleA prominent high-rise office block in Hull is set to be turned into 45 flats.
Built in the 1970s, the five-storey landmark building is above the Prospect Shopping Centre.
The bottom floor will include a two-bedroom apartment and four one-bedroom apartments, and the other four floors will each have seven studio apartments, a two-bedroom flat and two one-bedroom flats.
The conditional planning approval was granted by Hull City Council.
Conditions include not supplying on-street residential parking permits so visitor and business parking spaces can be maintained.
Meanwhile, work cannot start until cycling parking facilities for residents have been provided.
The plans also limit the work to just the interior of the building.
According to the Local Democracy Reporting Service, the apartments will be accessed via the existing entrance to Prospect Centre on Prospect Street.
