PLANNERS are being asked to let an empty shop in Greenock town centre be used as a cafe or restaurant.

An application has been made to change the use of the former Robertsons Outerwear premises at 27 West Blackhall Street.

No further details are given in documents submitted to Inverclyde Council.

The proposal is pending assessment by officials.

An application to change the use of space above the shop from offices to four one-bedroom flats was recently approved.
