The existing building is a freehold commercial property with accommodation over three floors. Originally constructed in the late 1960s - early 1970s, the property was later extended in the 1980s with a single storey side extension. Barclays bank operated the site from the 1970s until early in 2023 when the bank was closed as part of a wider programme of closure by Barclays Bank across its estate. The building was purchased by Flitwick Town Council (FTC) in 2021. The council intends to maintain the freehold interest and lease out the building as two units to individual tenants. The building is in a good condition having only been vacated relatively recently and fronts a space beyond the town's listed war memorial, which is seen as an important community asset for the town. A roof replacement project has been commissioned and the works will be completed under a separate contract prior to awarding the refurbishment works. A certificate of lawfulness has been granted for the change of use, planning reference CB/24/01388/LDCP. A full Planning Application for the proposed works has been submitted.
