PLANS have been drawn up to turn part of a historic former church building in Greenock into a beauty salon.

A change-of-use application has been submitted for a number of rooms at the old Finnart St Paul’s premises on Newark Street.

The proposal is now being considered by Inverclyde Council planners.

There are already plans to use the main part of the building as a circus school.

The church is category A-listed and closed as part of the merger of West End churches which created Lyle Kirk.
