REDEVELOPMENT plans for Malvern's Belle Vue Terrace mean stationery business Severn Office Systems will soon be moving.

The store's lease expires in September 2006 and Higham Lane Properties has planning permission to turn the building into a restaurant, with Pizza Express the most likely occupier.

Severn Office Systems manager David Robertson said it would begin to make the short move to 40 Belle Vue Terrace after the Christmas holidays.

"Hopefully, there will be as little disruption as possible," he said. "We won't have as much space as now but we expect to accommodate most of our current lines."
