A derelict building that has become a target for vandals could become flats, under new plans.

Norwich-based SCK Developments is hoping to convert an empty building at 2-2a Ardney Rise in Catton into three one-bedroom homes. 

The two-storey property, near St Clement's Park, has been vacant for 18 months and was last occupied by printing business Signs and Graphics.

But the site has since become the target of frequent vandalism - with the front windows recently being smashed before being boarded up. 

The proposals would see two flats established on the ground floor and one on the first.

Each home would feature one bedroom, a bathroom and a spacious kitchen and living area. 

Application documents submitted to the city council state: "The building is an eyesore on what is a predominantly residential street.

"This proposal will bring a currently redundant site back into use, provide three new dwellings and significantly improve the street scene."

A decision is hoped to be made on the plans by December 31.
