A PLAN has been put forward to build up to 30 flats on a commercial site in St Austell.
Outline planning permission is being sought from Cornwall Council to clear the Beech Motors site in Albert Road through demolition and then construct the housing.
Objections have been raised by nearby residents over potential loss of privacy, overshadowing, loss of light and highways issues.
The site is in a built-up area within walking distance of the town centre. The large commercial building on the plot is said to have come to the end of its natural lifespan and the previous commercial use of the site as a motor vehicle repair garage has stopped.
