A BLOCK of shops and businesses in Maldon is set to be converted into six flats.

The Rivendell Centre, in White Horse Lane, had been home to a coffee shop, a children’s play area and a beauty treatment business.

Now, an application has been lodged to Maldon District Council to change the use of the property into six one bedroom flats.

If given approval, part of the building to the north and west would be demolished and a new first and second floor constructed.
