Plans have been revealed for the fate of a former bank.

A change of use application has been submitted to turn the former NatWest in Swanley into SupaJam, a music and media college.

The bank, which is currently vacant, shut in May 2022 after demand for its services fell.

Between 2018 and 2020 counter transactions for personal customers at the branch in The Mall, London Road decreased by 30%. In 2019 only 17 people used it on a regular basis.

On September 12, plans were submitted by post-16 specialist college SupaJam to move into the building.

If approved, there will be some internal walls built to form classrooms and offices as well as soundproofed areas so the students can enjoy playing music.

Any noise will kept to the centre of the building and will only be between 9am and 5pm.

SupaJam, which also has a location in Canterbury, is currently located in St Marys Road, Swanley, and according to the application form has “been able to successfully manage any issues with noise”.

Its current site is also in an old bank, and the vault provides a “ready-made, sound proofed room for band practice”.

The application can be viewed here.

The council is required to make a decision by November 8.
