A former dental surgery could be turned into a flat.

The property once home to Ward and Snape on Chester Road could soon undergo some major changes.

With the dental laboratory having moved to a new location, on Bridge Street, in April this year, the old premises has been sat empty for several months.

However, Bee Hoppy Properties has now submitted a planning application to Cheshire East Council, seeking prior approval for a change of use from business use to residential.

The application states that they plan to make the downstairs into a flat and remove the large shop windows, which are currently still adorned with the Ward and Snape branding.

It adds that the upstairs was a flat in the past but has been vacant 'for a while'.

Cheshire East Council received the application earlier this month and the consultation is due to end on Wednesday, January 8, 2025.
