The committee report on the scheme says: "The site is currently redundant with a majority of the buildings in a poor state of repair.
"The proposal seeks to redevelop the site whilst retaining and repairing the prominent historic frontage to the western boundary and south-western corner fronting the High Street, including the large shutter doors of the former bus garage.
"The creation of a convenience store would provide jobs as well as services for local residents."
The plans will be discussed and voted on Wednesday, August 10, at the Babergh development control committee.
