New flats could be built above Kingston's Wagamama, if plans are signed off by the council.

Kropifko Properties Ltd has applied for planning permission to repurpose a number of offices above the chain eatery, to create four new homes.

The High Street restaurant will not be impacted by the plans, apart from losing its first floor walk in fridge and office space.
