PLANS have been drawn up seeking permission to convert a unit into a gym.

Proposals for a change of use of a former diagnostics lab into a gym at Lea Green Business Park, on Eurolink, Sutton Manor, have been submitted to the council.

The plans for the vacant Unit 12 at the site have been sent in by applicant Hannah Murphy, of Full Send Fitness.

An application form in the plans states there would be two part-time employees at the gym.

Plans are asking for permission for opening hours of 6am to 8pm from Mondays to Fridays; 7am to noon on Saturdays, and 8am to 1pm on Sundays and Bank Holidays.

A correspondence published in the planning documents states that there will be "no physical changes" to the outside or inside of the building "except changing the sign on the exterior".

The gym will be an "open plan space with toilets/a small kitchenette area which were already there".

It adds that "some gym equipment" will be taken in, described as a "four-bay squat rack which will be attached to the wall/floor".

The planning application is on standard consultation to the public until Monday, August 26.

A deadline has been set for council planners to make a decision on the application by September 26.
