Two retrospective planning applications have been submitted for businesses set up on the site of the former St John Ambulance Centre in Ipswich.

The first is for a change of use to a vehicle workshop.

The workshop would operate from 8am to 6.30pm on weekdays and 9am to 6.30pm on Saturdays, remaining closed on Sundays and bank holidays.

The second application is for the building to be used as an office and associated storage for a private hire car business.

This business would open 7.30am to 6.30pm weekdays and 9am to 6.30pm on Saturdays, also closed on Sundays and bank holiday Mondays.

The St John Ambulance Centre, situated on the Whitehouse Industrial Estate, was a long-standing base for volunteer training, administration, and community first aid activities.

Its services became surplus to requirements, prompting it to be marketed for alternative uses.
