THE vacant Christian Science Church in Albert Park Road, Malvern, could be redeveloped into housing.

Plans have been submitted to Malvern Hills District Council to demolish the existing timber-framed building and replace it with a luxury apartment block containing six new dwellings.

A previous application was refused and developer Birch Stone Homes has been holding pre-application discussions with planning officers to discuss the latest proposals and their suitability for the site.
