Floor plans submitted to council officials show how the property would be subdivided if plans are approved.
This includes the demolition of some internal walls on the ground floor to create the new layout, which includes areas for retail and office space, toilets and a consultation room.
In addition a residential use on the building’s first floor would be retained as part of the development.
