A PLAN which would see retirement homes replace a set of garages in Banbury has been filed with planning officers.
A total of nine retirement flats would be built in Penrhyn Close. They would consist of seven one bedroom homes and two two-bedroom flats.
Although there are 28 garages in the block, just six of those are currently occupied.
Developers have said the scheme will 'help meet the established need for affordable housing'.
Cherwell District Council planners will decide whether the plan is approved later.
