There are plans to turn a 'dilapidated' home above a former Bucks town WH Smith into four new one-bed flats.

The redevelopment at 59A Packhorse Road, Gerrards Cross would see the removal of two chimneys, new windows and a communal entry door added to the building.

The proposed flats would be between 39 - 40sqm, including 7.5sqm bedrooms.

There would be shower rooms without windows in each flat and a combined kitchen, dining and living room.

The plans state: "The proposed alteration represents a good opportunity to improve a somewhat dilapidated flat at first and second floors of the property, so that it can be fully utilised, whilst at the same time appear sympathetic to the original building."

The proposal adds: "The application site is set on Packhorse Road and forms a terrace of unlisted buildings, many of which have been converted into flats at first and second floor levels.

"Packhorse Road is located in close proximity of the Burnham Beaches Special Area of Conservation."

It states that the current home's entrance is shared with a retail unit, which was formerly WH Smith.

The proposal would add a new entrance at the ground floor level on the side of the building.

There would also be new windows 'to add necessary natural daylight to the proposed new flats'.

These would also be on the side of the building along with new domestic refuse bins.

The plan concludes: "We believe that the proposal will enhance the current street scene and at the same time provide new improved accommodation(s), thus maximising the full potential of the property whilst being sustainable within its environment."
