Plans to create 12 flats by converting and extending a home have been supported by members of Exmouth Town Council’s planning committee.

The proposal is for the conversion to take place at 4 Elwyn Road.

Proposing support, Councillor Bill Nash praised the scheme, saying there would be plenty of room for car parking.

He said: “This house sits in the largest plot of any house in Exmouth.

“I would say it’s a good application.”

A previous proposal for 10 flats at the same site had won approval last year.

East Devon District Council will make the final decision regarding planning permission.
