CAMRA's St Albans offices have been earmarked for a flat redevelopment in new plans.
The proposal, submitted by Chris Cross Limited, targets the site for a a three-storey building containing 11 residential flats.
It is believed to be an "excellent and much-needed opportunity" to regenerate the land to meet an "acute need" for additional housing in St Albans.
As part of the development, the current two storey commercial building would be demolished, making way for five one-bedroom, three two-bedroom, and a trio of three-bedroom flats.
The building would be configured on an ‘L-shaped’ footprint, with all flats having private amenity space in the form of ground floor gardens and upper floor terraces/balconies.
It will be marketed as a "car-free development" and only an external bike store is to be built.

The applicant continued to highlight a "substantial shortfall" in the delivery and supply of new homes in the district as justification for plans.
"A good standard of living environment would be provided for future occupiers of the site both internally and externally and the proposed development has been designed to be car-free consistent with its sustainable urban location," a statement by the applicant added.
According to the chairman of South Herts CAMRA, Ian Boyd, the real ale organisation has moved its St Albans operations to offices in Luton.
