Plans to convert a Lanarkshire church hall into flats submitted to the council

A planning application has been made to convert a South Lanarkshire church hall into residential flats.

The application looks to change St Andrew’s Parish Church hall on Avon Street in Hamilton into a residential facility and has been received by South Lanarkshire Council.

A previous application relating to the development was submitted in 2018, however an updated request has been made to change the boundary line for the original proposal.

The original application sought to demolish the activity hall at the rear of St Andrew’s Church, changing the use and converting it from a church hall and vestibule to develop a private dwelling.

The new plans seek to erect a rear extension to the church hall to provide three flats and develop associated parking.

If approved, the development will see the church hall, which is located to the rear of St Andrew’s Parish church, being converted into a three storey residential building which will host three flats.

The application was received by South Lanarkshire council on March 7 and validated on May 3. Neighbourhood and standard consultation is yet to be carried out.

The deadline for determining the application is July 2.
