Plans to convert a former day centre in Exmouth into flats have been withdrawn.

The plan was to create four flats at Landon House, 9 New North Road – a facility formerly used by Age Concern Exmouth.

An application for planning permission had been made to East Devon District Council, but this has now been withdrawn by the applicant.

Exmouth Town Council had previously opposed the plan, saying it would overlook neighbouring properties.

Councillors also felt it would be overdevelopment of the site.
