A new flat can now be created above a Twickenham shopfront after plans were signed off by Richmond Council.

Planning permission has been granted to create a single-bed dwelling on Heath Road, above the former estate agents.

Plans show the flat would also have a bathroom and joint kitchen, dining and living room.

The three storey building already has a flat on the second floor, but now the first floor commercial space will be converted to a new home.

No external changes will be made to the building.

"The layout of the existing building and the existing windows ensures that the new dwelling will receive adequate natural light in all habitable rooms," the application said.
