A plan for change of use of the former post office in Leominster into a public house was approved by members of the northern area planning sub-committee at their meeting on Wednesday, November 14.
JD Wetherspoon plc applied for the permission for change of use of the building in Corn Square, which is currently vacant.
Plans also involved refurbishment of a single storey extension at the rear, the demolition of an outbuilding and a new rear extension.
The scheme, which was refused in June this year, has been amended and now retains the basic form of the former post office sorting office.
One letter of support was received, saying the scheme would attract customers to the town centre.
Five letters of objection were received, concerned at highway safety and increased risk of night-time rowdiness and vandalism.
Conditions were imposed and members requested officers contact the applicant to seek voluntary agreement on servicing.
