PLANS to convert the former Lloyds Bank building in Buckley into apartments look set to receive the green light. The branch was the last remaining bank in the town before the company decided to close it in February 2019, blaming a reduction in in-store transactions. An application was later put forward in August last year to change the use of the building, which was built in 1893, by creating six apartments. The scheme submitted by real estate firm Four Square NW Ltd. has now been recommended for approval by a senior Flintshire Council official. Andrew Farrow, the local authority’s chief planning officer, praised the fact that it would bring a key building back into use, despite community leaders raising concerns it would lead to a shortage of retail space in the town centre.
