Plans have been submitted to Lancaster City Council to convert a former beauty therapy business on Moor Street into a three bed house for students.
The building was subject to a fire last April after the blaze spread from the adjoining Mary Street.

Among the businesses affected were Nicholas Evans Print Workshop, 848 Taxis, Luma Holistic Therapies, The Christian Bookshop and Amy’s Cafe.
There is currently no roof on the property on Moor Street.
The plans have been submitted by Mr R Grayston, of Building Plan Services.
A total of three student bedrooms are to be provided together with three bathrooms, a communal kitchen dining area and lounge.

Martin Environmental Solutions undertook a noise survey and have suggested recommendations to meet standard noise levels, this comes after concerns due to the building’s proximity to the back of Dalton Rooms club on Dalton Square.
The proposals are set to be discussed at a future planning meeting.
