The 22-bed accommodation in Green Lane, near the town centre, was previously earmarked for students.

A change of use application for the building to support young people and adults vulnerable to homelessness has now been submitted.

The three-storey Victorian property was initially built for the Albert Jagger Company, founded in 1887, as office and manufacturing works for vehicle parts but is set to get a new use.

The latest proposals are due to be considered by the council in the coming months.
