The decision to turn down an application to convert Maldon's former police station into five apartments is being appealed.

Maldon District Council refused the plans to turn the imposing building in West Square into the self-contained flats "with associated parking and landscaping" on 7 October last year.

The authority's planning officers concluded that the plans would result in the "loss of employment use and a community/service facility" – and that there was not enough evidence that it had been fully marketed for its "existing use" – as a commercial, community or service building.

Developer Court Langley Limited is now in the process of appealing that decision.
