A FORMER post office looks set to be turned into housing.

Plans have been submitted to convert the building, in Bolton Road, Edgworth, into two semi-detached homes.

The application, by Milton Developments Ltd, will go before the council’s Planning and Highways Committee on Thursday evening.

Under the plans, wind-ows facing buildings opposite would be glazed and blocked up.

Neighbours have objected to the plans, and have said building work that has already taken place has been a “regular annoyance”.

But officers have recommended the scheme for approval when the committee meets at Blackburn town hall.
