Developer Fitzroy Highgate has applied for planning permission to demolish part of the 1970s property in Wisbech.
It will be replaced by a new extension and the building at the junction of Alexandra Road and Love Lane will be converted into nine new one and two-bedroom flats.
A planning statement says the building has been unused for "a significant period" and is in a poor state of repair.

"The proposed development seeks to introduce new residential use into this vacant structure," it adds.
"This would not only secure investment but also bring the building back into active use, helping to reinforce the vibrancy and vitality of the town centre."
The statement says the scheme will remove an "unattractive" building and provide "much-needed" housing without resulting in overdevelopment.
