The former Long Eaton Wilko has been taken over by Poundland but the former offices above remain vacant
The former Wilko in a Derbyshire town centre could be turned into flats under new plans. Plans filed by Pegasus to Erewash Borough Council would see the upper floor of the former Wilko , in the Beeches shopping centre in Market Place, Long Eaton , turned into nine flats.
While Poundland moved into the former ground floor shop premises, the floor above has remained unused but could now get a new lease of life. The plans from Pegasus would see the upper floor of the shopping centre turned into two one-bed one person flats; five one-bed two-person flats; one two-bed three-person flat; and one two-bed four-person flat.
“It is therefore considered that there would be a reduced reliance for residents to travel by car. The reduced level of car parking proposed is considered to be sufficient to serve the proposed residential use.”
