Official plans have been submitted for an iconic building on Ipswich Waterfront which has recently been bought.

Ipswich Borough Council has received official plans from Baylight Properties, the new owners of the Waterfront House.

The plans are to create a new visitor-based attraction called 'At Home With Clay' which celebrates the "ordinary and extraordinary clay objects we use in our homes".

Plans show that on the ground floor there would be a foyer, with a workshop space and atrium on the first floor.

The second floor will have a large exhibition space and a free creation area, with further exhibition spaces on the fourth and fifth floor.

Planning documents state that visitors will be "taken on an interactive journey to discover clay all around us, in bricks and pipes, cooking pots and crockery."

Crispin Kelly, chief executive of Baylight Properties, said previously: "There are going to be a series of spaces, some of which will be domestic in nature and some will double or triple the height kind of exhibition spaces. 

"There will be a combination of objects that you can hold and play with visual and audio entertainment and other amazing stuff."

Ipswich Borough Council will discuss the plans in due course.
