Plans have been submitted to transform ground-floor office space at 15 Princess Street, Ipswich, into a community meeting and reading room, exhibition hall and shop.

The property sits within Ipswich town centre Conservation Area but is not a listed building.

It currently includes ground-floor retail and office accommodation, with flats on the first and second floors remaining unchanged under the proposals.

A key part of the application is replacing an existing modern aluminium-framed window facing Princess Street with a fully glazed aluminium entrance door.

The new doorway would provide independent, direct and level access to the proposed community space, rather than requiring visitors to enter through the building's shared corridor.

The replacement door would be installed within the existing opening, meaning no structural alterations are required.

Its design and appearance would closely match the existing window, helping maintain the character of the red and buff brick frontage.

The proposals are to be discussed by Ipswich Borough Council in due course.
