A new block of flats could be built at the site of an existing apartment building in a Suffolk market town. 

Plans for the construction of a new building, 'Block B', at Belle Vue Place, on the corner of Newton Road and Belle Vue Road in Sudbury, were submitted to Babergh District Council on December 8. 

The proposed new block would be made up of nine new flats complete with balconies and a roof garden for the residents. 

The plans also include provisions for a green roof and communal garden at the existing block (A), as well as amendments to openings. 

Additional cycle parking is proposed and existing parking spaces would be re-provided beneath the proposed new block. 

The site was formerly home to a two-storey building used as a tax office by Inland Revenue, but this was demolished in 2014 and the site was approved for the existing 19-flat development in 2018. 

The nine new flats would all have one bedroom and five of them would also contain a study room.

A statement to the council said: "The development would not cause harm to the character of the area, local amenity, and would provide sufficient parking."
